Eric saw these things because just for a minute he was too shy to look at the people in the room. Almost at once he had to look at the Tree Man, however, for he came and shook him by the shoulders. Eric had been shaken by the shoulders before, so he shrank away. But this was very different from Mrs. Freg's shakings.
Through the crooked narrow streets, past the crooked narrow houses, one of them Mrs. Freg's, they sped faster than the wind! On, on, on, up the wide avenue through the "residential section" where big houses eyed them from proud terraces, out into the country again they raced. There they came to a high gray stone wall, blocking their way, and stood still. "You must climb," said Wild Star.
He taught them how to play base ball, which he had once watched Mrs. Freg's boys playing on Sundays in the back yard. They used a piece of drift wood for a bat, and when the shell got accidentally batted into the sea the Blue Water Children fielded it like fishes.
That morning began no differently from any morning, though it was to be the beginning of all things new for Eric. He was awakened early by Mrs. Freg's rough hand shaking him by the arm, and her rough voice in his ears: "Get up, lazy-bones! All you boys pile out, this very minute! It's six o'clock already!"
They'll come in too, and not be afraid any more." "But why are they afraid of me?" asked Eric, tugging at his sandal-string. "No one else has ever been afraid of me. Even Juno, Mrs. Freg's cat, who was afraid of 'most every one, liked me and jumped into my lap. Why are the Forest People afraid?" "Well, they are Forest People, you see, and you are an Earth Child.
Freg's boys had left him so much of the bed-clothes. "How fine to have a little time to pretend a dream!" he said to himself. But Mrs. Freg did not come and did not come, until at last he opened his eyes, just in wonderment. "It must be six o'clock!" When he saw where he was, and that the dream was true, his heart almost stood still for joy.
