To him she is beautiful, and she is asleep until he comes." Mr. Literal lost patience. "Very well," he said, "but you know it's true that Imagination I believe he calls himself Will o'Dreams is not a giant as he's been represented here." She replied calmly, "The greatest giant of all: the forerunner of every dream, of every deed!" But Mr.
The giant began dreamily "There ought to be some way . . ." Everychild's eyes brightened. "If we could only open the toe of the shoe though of course we couldn't!" "We could," declared the giant. They went forward stealthily. Will o'Dreams following the example of Everychild and moving without a sound.
Everychild was trying to see the pictures as they passed; but he could not quite keep up. And after Will o'Dreams had finished he remained silent, going over it all in his mind. But the giant interrupted him. "There," he said, "we ought not to stay up too late. You know we want to make an early start to-morrow." Everychild's heart prompted him to say impulsively, "And you'll go on with us?
To the amazement of all it was the giant, Will o'Dreams, who stepped forward to comfort Jack. In a voice which was marvelously kind he said: "I know you for a brave youth, Jack the Giant Killer; and as for me, it has been said that I am generous.

Anne tried to banish Gilbert's image from her castle in Spain but, somehow, he went on being there, so Anne, being in a hurry, gave up the attempt and pursued her aerial architecture with such success that her "home o'dreams" was built and furnished before Diana spoke again.
They were really comfortable beds, after all! Strangest of all was the fact that Will o'Dreams went about with the other children, guided by the sound of their voices, and by an occasional touch of Everychild's hand; and one after another he tested the pool and the paths and the stairs and the beds.
"It's fine to hear the owl make a noise like that, isn't it?" he asked of the giant. "Is it?" replied Will o'Dreams with a kindly taunt in his voice. "Suppose you tell me why." "I'm not sure I can. But you know it makes you think of so many wonderful and strange things." "Of what?" persisted the giant. Everychild pondered a little, and then it seemed that he saw a sort of vision.
It was then that an outer door opened hurriedly and the giant, Will o'Dreams, entered the room. Perceiving Everychild, he stood an instant with clinched hands and uplifted face; and then he cried out in a loud voice: "Everychild!" And Everychild replied, with a little of that kindly condescension which a married man feels toward a youth, "Well, my boy?"
It was here that Will o'Dreams found opportunity to render a most important service. Without the slightest spirit of boasting he stepped forward, saying, "Follow me!" To the amazement of all, the trees parted so that a way was opened and the entire band now found it quite easy to follow in the footsteps of the giant.
