My dear little girl, said a low, rich voice,
gpt
I see, said the weary voice.
human
You are used to having your way--just as he is. I'll have to let you because I haven't any strength left to fight with. You are wonderfully kind. But--I'm not a little girl.
gpt
We'll play you are, for a while, she said.
human
And--I want you to know that, little or big, you are my friend. So now you have both Doctor Burns and me, and you are not alone any more.
gpt
Red, she said,
human
Won't anybody else do?
gpt
Do you need her badly somewhere else?
human
If there were ten of her I could use them all!
gpt
Nevertheless--
human
Please send Miss Arden here for a minute, he requested. Then he turned back.
gpt
Are you satisfied with your power?
human
Quite. But I think you feel, as I do, that this is one of the ten places where she will be better than another.
gpt
She's a wonder, all right.
human
I would rather have you,
gpt
There's a tribute, laughed Burns softly.
human
They all feel like that when they look at you, Selina. And what Mrs. Burns wants she usually gets. You may special this case to-night, if you are ready to begin night duty again.
gpt
I am quite ready,
human
You are in the best hands we have to give you, he said.
gpt
You are to trust everything to those hands. Good-night. I'll see you in the morning.
human
Good-night, dear,
gpt
Oh you angels!
