'' `` I wo n't , '' cried Felix disgustedly . `` I hate whiskers . Maybe I ca n't help the grandfather part , but I CAN help having a beard . '' `` You ca n't . It 's written in the stars . '' '' ` Tai n't . The stars ca n't prevent me from shaving . '' `` Wo n't Grandpa Felix sound awful funny ? '' reflected Felicity . `` Peter will be a minister , '' went on the Story Girl . `` Well , I might be something worse , '' remarked Peter , in a not ungratified tone . `` Dan will be a farmer and will marry a girl whose name begins with K and he will have eleven children . And he 'll vote Grit . '' `` I wo n't , '' cried scandalized Dan . `` You do n't know a thing about it . Catch ME ever voting Grit ! As for the rest of it -- I do n't care . Farming 's well enough , though I 'd rather be a sailor . ''
`` Do n't talk such nonsense , '' protested XXXXX sharply .
