"Home!" was the faint echo. "No, we don't live here!" and
the child's eyes wandered perplexedly from one side of the
room to the other, finally resting on the chintz curtains at
the window.
"Yes, we do, Dick. This is our pretty new home. We left the
old one weeks ago, and are living in one of the cottages in
Lord Bentford's estate now. And oh, my dear, we shall never
any of us suffer from cold or hunger any more."
"Yes, dear, you've been very, very ill; but you're much
better now, and are going to get quite well, the doctor says.
That lady who was here a minute since is a hospital nurse
that Lord Bentford telegraphed to London for when first you
—you broke down. There, I mustn't talk any longer; and
you mustn't ask more questions. You shall know everything
later on, when you are stronger."
"I'll tell you all that happened, Dick," Mrs. Wilkins said.
"After the accident on the lake, both Lord and Lady Bentford
came down to our cottage, where you had been carried,
and saw what a dreadful state of poverty we were in.
Nothing would satisfy his lordship but that we should move
at once into this beautiful cottage that happened to be
empty, and have everything we needed. Talk of gratitude—I
believe Lord and Lady Bentford are so grateful to you and
Stranger for saving their only child that you might both 'eat
off gold,' as the saying is, if you wanted to. We are to live
here—rent free!" declared the widow. "Lord Bentford insists
upon it. He has paid for all the furniture, and given us—oh,
I can't tell what he hasn't given us! And directly my hand is
strong enough to use, I am to go up to his beautiful house
every day and work under the housekeeper."
"Mother, 'tis like a dream! Only, I don't want to wake up
ever again, if it is."
"If you feel well enough to see him. His spirits are higher
than ever, I do believe!"
"It says that the collar was presented to him by Lord and
Lady Bentford, in grateful recognition of his splendid service
in saving their only child from drowning," explained Mrs.
Wilkins.
"Yes, dear," was the prompt answer; "but I'm prouder still
of you."
"God sent that dog to our door," said Dick. "I always felt
certain of that! He meant him to bring us good fortune; and
sure enough he has!"
