and saw that the door to the garden was shut. Presently it was opened--
not to let me out, but to let the dog in--yelping and bounding.
I thought if he caught sight of me, I was in for a biting first,
and the police after. So I jumped up, and ran for a little
summer-house in the corner of the garden. The dog came after me,
but I shut the door in his face. It was well it had a door--
wasn't it?"

"You dreamed of the door because you wanted it," said Diamond.

"No, I didn't; it came of itself. It was there, in the true dream."

"There--I've caught you!" said Diamond. "I knew you believed
in the dream as much as I do."

"Oh, well, if you will lay traps for a body!" said Nanny.
"Anyhow, I was safe inside the summer-house. And what do you think?--
There was the moon beginning to shine again--but only through
one of the panes--and that one was just the colour of the ruby.
Wasn't it funny?"

"No, not a bit funny," said Diamond.

"If you will be contrary!" said Nanny.

"No, no," said Diamond; "I only meant that was the very pane I
should have expected her to shine through."

"Oh, very well!" returned Nanny.
