"
As
hard
as
a
stone
,
"
he
said
.
"
That
will
have
to
be
altered
some
day
when
she
is
out
.
A
special
journey
can
be
made
to
bring
it
across
.
It
can
not
be
done
tonight
.
"
He
lifted
the
covering
and
examined
the
one
thin
pillow
.
"
Coverlet
dingy
and
worn
,
blanket
thin
,
sheets
patched
and
ragged
,
"
he
said
.
"
What
a
bed
for
a
child
to
sleep
in
--
and
in
a
house
which
calls
itself
respectable
!
There
has
not
been
a
fire
in
that
grate
for
many
a
day
,
"
glancing
at
the
rusty
fireplace
.
"
Never
since
I
have
seen
it
,
"
said
Ram
Dass
.
"
The
mistress
of
the
house
is
not
one
who
remembers
that
another
than
herself
may
be
cold
.

The
secretary
was
writing
quickly
on
his
tablet
.
He
looked
up
from
it
as
he
tore
off
a
leaf
and
slipped
it
into
his
breast
pocket
.
"
It
is
a
strange
way
of
doing
the
thing
,
"
he
said
.
"
Who
planned
it
?
"
Ram
Dass
made
a
modestly
apologetic
obeisance
.
"
It
is
true
that
the
first
thought
was
mine
,
Sahib
,
"
he
said
;
"
though
it
was
naught
but
a
fancy
.
I
am
fond
of
this
child
;
we
are
both
lonely
.
It
is
her
way
to
relate
her
visions
to
her
secret
friends
.

Being
sad
one
night
,
I
lay
close
to
the
open
skylight
and
listened
.
The
vision
she
related
told
what
this
miserable
room
might
be
if
it
had
comforts
in
it
.
She
seemed
to
see
it
as
she
talked
,
and
she
grew
cheered
and
warmed
as
she
spoke
.
Then
she
came
to
this
fancy
;
and
the
next
day
,
the
Sahib
being
ill
and
wretched
,
I
told
him
of
the
thing
to
amuse
him
.
It
seemed
then
but
a
dream
,
but
it
pleased
the
Sahib
.
To
hear
of
the
child
's
doings
gave
him
entertainment
.
He
became
interested
in
her
and
asked
questions
.
At
last
he
began
to
please
himself
with
the
thought
of
making
her
visions
real
things
.
"
"
You
think
that
it
can
be
done
while
she
sleeps
?
Suppose
she
awakened
,
"
suggested
the
secretary
;
and
it
was
evident
that
whatsoever
the
plan
referred
to
was
,
it
had
caught
and
pleased
his
fancy
as
well
as
the
Sahib
Carrisford
's
.
"
I
can
move
as
if
my
feet
were
of
velvet
,
"
Ram
Dass
replied
;
"
and
children
sleep
soundly
--
even
the
unhappy
ones
.
I
could
have
entered
this
room
in
the
night
many
times
,
and
without
causing
her
to
turn
upon
her
pillow
.
If
the
other
bearer
passes
to
me
the
things
through
the
window
,
I
can
do
all
and
she
will
not
stir
.
When
she
awakens
she
will
think
a
magician
has
been
here
.
