The others followed, and in a moment Kitty was surrounded by her own people.

She flew to her mother's arms, and Cousin Ethel quickly drew off her own evening wrap and put it around Kitty.
"How _did_ you happen to fall ?" asked her father, who soon saw she was not hurt, or even badly jarred.
"I was asleep, I guess," Kitty returned; "anyway I dreamed that I wanted to jump in the red geranium sea,--so I jumped." "You jumped! out of the window ?" "Yes,--that is, off of the little balcony.

You see, I was asleep until I landed.

Then I found out where I was." Kitty was quite calm about it, and cuddled into the folds of Cousin Ethel's satin cloak, while she told her story.
"Of course, I shouldn't have jumped if I had been awake," she said; "but you can't help what you do in your sleep, can you ?" "No," said Uncle Steve; "you weren't a bit to blame, Kitsie, and I'm thankful you came down so safely.

But I think that window must be fastened before you go to sleep again.
