So to bed he went at half-past six, and his head had scarcely touched the pillow two minutes before he had gone cantering away into dreamland, and was seeing all the sights and hearing all the delicious stories that children do see and hear in dreamland, though they don't always remember them when they wake up.

Both Milly and he woke up very early on Thursday morning; and directly his eyes were open Olly jumped out of bed like an india-rubber ball, and began to put on his stockings in a terrible hurry.

The noise of his jump woke nurse, and she called out in a sleepy voice: "Get into bed again, Master Olly, directly.

It is only just six o'clock, and I can't have you out of bed till seven.

You'll only be under my feet, and in everybody's way." "Nana, I won't be in _anybody's_ way," exclaimed Olly, running up to her and scrambling on to her bed with his little bare toes half way into his stockings.
