"Why, one time I had a dream, and went clear over to the Kleiner Berg Basin, in my sleep, and got into the boat."
"You did!"
"I guess I did. The boat was unlocked and the oars were up at the barn, and so I floated off, and there I had to stay till Tom came in the morning."
"Why, I should have been scared out of my seventeen senses," said Joy, creeping into bed. "Didn't you scream?"
"No. That wouldn't have done any good. See here, Joy, if you find me going to sleep, pinch me, will you?"
"Oh, yes," said Joy, with alacrity. "I shall be awake, I know."
There was a silence. Gypsy broke it by turning her head over on the pillow with a whisk, and opening her eyes savagely, quite indignant to find them shut.
"Joy."
No answer.
