made up,
just as it had in the other dream!
"You Dear Little Boy Whose Legs Won't Go!"--he did not catch anything
but the first four words; he must have breathed and lost the rest.
But the tone was all there. He wanted to ask her if she had brought
the Rec-om-pense, but it was such a risk to speak. He thought if he
kept on lying quite still he should find out. Perhaps in a minute--
"You think he will let me love him, Morris? Say you think he will!"
Morris was Dadsy's other name. Things were getting very strange.
"Because I must! Perhaps it will make up a very little if I fold him
all up in my love."
"Fold him up"--that was what the warm shawl had done, and the name of
the warm shawl had been Rec-om-pense. Was there another name to it?
Morry opened his eyes and gazed up wonderingly into the face of the
step-one.--It was a Real One's face, and the other name was written
on it.
"Why, it's Love!" breathed Morry. He felt a little dizzy, but he
wanted to laugh, he was so happy. He wanted to tell her--he must.
"It makes up--oh yes, it makes up!" he cried, softly.
