rn away and sit down
on a bench. She was glad, she said, to get home again, and she would
go out no more till the day came when Mr George drove them all down to
the docks, with the few boxes which contained their worldly goods.

Dr Christie and his wife were down at the ship to see them off, and
they kissed Meg tenderly as they bade her farewell. When the last
minute was nearly come, Mr George took little Meg's small hand in his
large one, and laid the other upon her head.

'Little woman, tell us that verse again,' he said, 'that verse as
you've always gone and believed in, and acted on.'

'That as mother and me heard preached from the streets?' asked Meg.

Mr George nodded silently.

'It's quite true,' said little Meg, in a tone of perfect confidence,
'because it's in the Bible, and Jesus said it. Besides, God did
everythink I asked Him. "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children: how much more shall your Father which is in
heaven give good things to them that ask Him?"'
