If
there
was
time
only
for
a
few
words
,
they
were
always
friendly
,
merry
words
that
put
heart
into
one
;
and
if
there
was
time
for
more
,
then
there
was
an
installment
of
a
story
to
be
told
,
or
some
other
thing
one
remembered
afterward
and
sometimes
lay
awake
in
one
's
bed
in
the
attic
to
think
over
.
Sara
--
who
was
only
doing
what
she
unconsciously
liked
better
than
anything
else
,
Nature
having
made
her
for
a
giver
--
had
not
the
least
idea
what
she
meant
to
poor
Becky
,
and
how
wonderful
a
benefactor
she
seemed
.
If
Nature
has
made
you
for
a
giver
,
your
hands
are
born
open
,
and
so
is
your
heart
;
and
though
there
may
be
times
when
your
hands
are
empty
,
your
heart
is
always
full
,
and
you
can
give
things
out
of
that
--
warm
things
,
kind
things
,
sweet
things
--
help
and
comfort
and
laughter
--
and
sometimes
gay
,
kind
laughter
is
the
best
help
of
all
.
Becky
had
scarcely
known
what
laughter
was
through
all
her
poor
,
little
hard-driven
life
.
Sara
made
her
laugh
,
and
laughed
with
her
;
and
,
though
neither
of
them
quite
knew
it
,
the
laughter
was
as
"
fillin
'
"
as
the
meat
pies
.
A
few
weeks
before
Sara
's
eleventh
birthday
a
letter
came
to
her
from
her
father
,
which
did
not
seem
to
be
written
in
such
boyish
high
spirits
as
usual
.
He
was
not
very
well
,
and
was
evidently
overweighted
by
the
business
connected
with
the
diamond
mines
.
"
You
see
,
little
Sara
,
"
he
wrote
,
"
your
daddy
is
not
a
businessman
at
all
,
and
figures
and
documents
bother
him
.
He
does
not
really
understand
them
,
and
all
this
seems
so
enormous
.
Perhaps
,
if
I
was
not
feverish
I
should
not
be
awake
,
tossing
about
,
one
half
of
the
night
and
spend
the
other
half
in
troublesome
dreams
.
If
my
little
missus
were
here
,
I
dare
say
she
would
give
me
some
solemn
,
good
advice
.
You
would
,
would
n't
you
,
Little
Missus
?
"
One
of
his
many
jokes
had
been
to
call
her
his
"
little
missus
"
because
she
had
such
an
old-fashioned
air
.
He
had
made
wonderful
preparations
for
her
birthday
.
Among
other
things
,
a
new
doll
had
been
ordered
in
Paris
,
and
her
wardrobe
was
to
be
,
indeed
,
a
marvel
of
splendid
perfection
.
When
she
had
replied
to
the
letter
asking
her
if
the
doll
would
be
an
acceptable
present
,
Sara
had
been
very
quaint
.
"
I
am
getting
very
old
,
"
she
wrote
;
"
you
see
,
I
shall
never
live
to
have
another
doll
given
me
.
This
will
be
my
last
doll
.
There
is
something
solemn
about
it
.
If
I
could
write
poetry
,
I
am
sure
a
poem
about
'
A
Last
Doll
'
would
be
very
nice
.
But
I
can
not
write
poetry
.
I
have
tried
,
and
it
made
me
laugh
.
It
did
not
sound
like
Watts
or
Coleridge
or
Shakespeare
at
all
.
No
one
could
ever
take
Emily
's
place
,
but
I
should
respect
the
Last
Doll
very
much
;
and
I
am
sure
the
school
would
love
it
.
They
all
like
dolls
,
though
some
of
the
big
ones
--
the
almost
fifteen
ones
--
pretend
they
are
too
grown
up
.
"
Captain
Crewe
had
a
splitting
headache
when
he
read
this
letter
in
his
bungalow
in
India
.
The
table
before
him
was
heaped
with
papers
and
letters
which
were
alarming
him
and
filling
him
with
anxious
dread
,
but
he
laughed
as
he
had
not
laughed
for
weeks
.
"
Oh
,
"
he
said
,
"
she
's
better
fun
every
year
she
lives
.
God
grant
this
business
may
right
itself
and
leave
me
free
to
run
home
and
see
her
.
What
would
n't
I
give
to
have
her
little
arms
round
my
neck
this
minute
!
What
WOULD
N'T
I
give
!
"
The
birthday
was
to
be
celebrated
by
great
festivities
.
The
schoolroom
was
to
be
decorated
,
and
there
was
to
be
a
party
.
The
boxes
containing
the
presents
were
to
be
opened
with
great
ceremony
,
and
there
was
to
be
a
glittering
feast
spread
in
Miss
Minchin
's
sacred
room
.
When
the
day
arrived
the
whole
house
was
in
a
whirl
of
excitement
.
