Don't make a sound, silly Sylvia! It's only me--Betty. I want you to get very wide awake. And now you are wide awake, aren't you?
gpt
Yes, oh yes, said Sylvia;
human
You are in prison! whispered Betty back to her.
gpt
Now, lie as still as a statue while I waken Hester.
human
Now, both of you creep very softly into my bed. We can all squeeze up together if we try hard.
gpt
Lovely, darlingest Betty!
human
You are nice, Bet!
gpt
Now I want to speak, said Betty.
human
You know the packet?
gpt
You know how _she_ spoke to-night?
human
Do you think, continued Betty,
gpt
Of course not,
human
I might, said Betty--
gpt
I _might_ have asked Mrs. Haddo to look after it for me; but never now--never! Girls, we've got to bury it!
human
Oh Bet!
gpt
We can't!
human
We can, and we will, said Betty.
gpt
I've thought it all out. I am going to bury it my own self this very minute.
human
Betty, how--where? Betty, what do you mean?
gpt
You must help me, said Betty.
human
First of all, I am going to get up and put on my thick skirt of black serge. I won't make a sound, for that creature Fan sleeps next door. Lie perfectly still where you are while I am getting ready.
