I am pleased to see you---- (she was about to say
gpt
Benny, but checked herself), and added,
human
I hope your arm is still improving.
gpt
Yes, thank you; it will soon be as well as ever.
human
I am very glad; but how strange, isn't it, that I should have found you again?
gpt
Yes, very; but my life has been a strange one altogether.
human
I suppose so. Do you remember telling me all about your life up to the time I first saw you on the landing-stage?
gpt
Yes, I remember. Do you remember giving me the shilling? Of course you do, for you mentioned it last night, but I wanted to tell you I have that shilling yet.
human
How funny! said she, taking the coin in her hand;
gpt
Yes; I have never had the heart to part with it, somehow, though I've wanted bread since you gave it to me. I call it my lucky shilling.
human
How strange! she said, more to herself than to him.
gpt
Then you have never forgotten us?
human
Forgotten you! said Benny,
gpt
I should---- Then he checked himself, and added, after a pause,
human
No, I could not easily forget those who have befriended me.
