Did you never go to church, Phil?
gpt
No; we had prayers at home; and on Sunday evenings I sang hymns.
human
Never heard of a Ritualist, thought Jack, with a feeling of gladness.
gpt
Doesn't know anything about vestments; isn't learned in school feasts; and never attended a tea-meeting. This girl is a Phoenix.
human
And is Mr. Cassilis a relation of yours?
gpt
No; Mr. Cassilis is Mr. Dyson's nephew. All Mr. Dyson's fortune is left to found an institution for educating girls as I was educated----
human
Without reading or writing?
gpt
I suppose so. Only, you see, it is most unfortunate that my own education is incomplete, and they cannot carry out the testator's wishes, Mr. Jagenal tells me, because they have not been able to find the concluding chapters of his book. Mr. Dyson wrote a book on it, and the last chapter was called the 'Coping-stone.' I do not know what they will do about it. Mr. Cassilis wants to have the money divided among the relations, I know. Isn't it odd? And he has so much already.
human
And I have got none.
gpt
O Jack! take some of mine--do! I know I have such a lot somewhere; and I never spend anything.
human
You are very good, Phil; but that will hardly be right. But do you know it is five o'clock? We have been talking for three hours. I must go--alas, I must go!
gpt
And you have told me nothing at all yet about Mr. Colquhoun.
human
When I see you next I will tell you what I know of him. Good-bye, Phil.
gpt
Jack, come and see me again soon.
human
When may I come? Not to-morrow--that would be too soon. The day after. Phil, make me the likeness, and send it to me by post. I forgot you cannot write.
gpt
Fold it in that, with this address outside, and post it to me. Come again, Phil? I should like to come every day, and stay all day.
