It will be doing such a good work, said Mrs. Ogilvie to herself.
gpt
I shall be not only entertaining my friends and amusing dear little Sibyl, but I shall be collecting money for an excellent charity.
human
Oh, Mummy, said Sibyl. She smiled and said faintly,
gpt
Come and kiss me, Mummy.
human
My little white rose, she said,
gpt
Oh, color don't matter, replied Sibyl.
human
I'm just as happy without it.
gpt
But you are quite out of pain, my little darling?
human
Yes, Mummy.
gpt
And you like lying here in your pretty window?
human
Yes, mother darling.
gpt
You are not weary of lying so still?
human
It is funny, she said,
gpt
I never thought I could lie so very still. I used to get a fidgety sort of pain all down me if I stayed still more than a minute at a time, but now I don't want to walk. My legs are too heavy. I feel heavy all down my legs and up to the middle of my back, but that is all. See, Mummy, how nicely I can move my hands. Nursie is going to give me some dolls to dress.
human
What a splendid idea, Sib! said Mrs. Ogilvie,
gpt
Are you going to have it after all? cried Sibyl, her eyes brightening.
human
Are the big-wigs coming?
gpt
Yes, pet, and you shall help me. You shall dress pretty little dolls which the big-wigs shall buy--Lord Grayleigh and the rest.
human
I like Lord Grayleigh, replied Sibyl.
gpt
I am glad you are going to have the bazaar, Mummy.
