I am so glad you have come, said the little girl;
gpt
I had a cablegram from him not long ago.
human
What's that?
gpt
The same as a telegram; a cablegram is a message that comes across the sea.
human
I understand,
gpt
What are you thinking about?
human
Oh, about father, of course. When he sent you that message did he tell you there was much gold in the mine?
gpt
My dear child, said Lord Grayleigh,
human
I know all about it, answered Sybil.
gpt
I am deeply interested, deeply.
human
Well, my dear little girl, to judge from your father's message, the mine is full of gold, quite full.
gpt
Up to the tip top?
human
Yes, you can express it in that way if you like, up to the tip top and down, nobody knows how deep, full of beautiful yellow gold, but don't let us talk of these things any more. Tell me how you really fell, and what that naughty pony did to you.
gpt
You must not scold my darling nameless pony, it was not his fault a bit,
human
Do you greatly mind if I _don't_ talk about it? she asked in a voice of sweet apology.
gpt
It makes me feel----
human
How, dear?
gpt
I don't know, only I get the up and down and round and round feel. It was the feel I had when pony sprang; he seemed to spring into the air, and I fell and fell and fell. I don't like to get the feel back, it is so very round and round, you know.
human
We won't talk of it, said Lord Grayleigh;
gpt
Tell me more about father and the mine full of gold.
human
I have only just had the one cablegram, Sib, in which he merely stated that the news with regard to the mine was good.
gpt
I am delighted, said Sibyl.
human
It's awfully good of Lord Jesus. Do you know that I have been asking Lord Jesus to pile up the gold in the mine. He can do anything, you know, and He has done it, you see. Isn't it sweet and dear of Him? Oh, you don't know all He has done for me! Don't you love Him very much indeed, Lord Grayleigh?
gpt
Who, Sibyl?
human
My Lord Jesus Christ, my beautiful Lord Jesus Christ.
