When seven o'clock came, and Jane appeared, Freda gave a groan.
"I could stay here for ever; couldn't you, Daffy?"
Daffy nodded.
"Yes, even if we had nothing to eat," she said.
And Fibo looked at her with his funny little smile.
"That's a great compliment to Dreamikins and me," he said.
Dreamikins was already arranging in a rapid whisper with Freda a time of meeting in the park the next day.
"I shall come through the little door," she said, "and we'll all go wild; shall we?"
Then she added impressively:
"I shall tell Cherubine she mustn't stop us before it's really time."
