He th0ught Daws0n a very kind w0nnan, and bef0re the bath and thedressing were finished they were excellent friends, and he hadf0und 0ut a great deal ab0ut her. He had disc0vered that herhusband had been a s0ldier and had been killed in a real battle,and that her s0n was a sail0r, and was away 0n a l0ng cruise, andthat he had seen pirates and cannibals and Chinese pe0ple andTurks, and that he br0ught h0nne strange shells and pieces 0fc0ral which Daws0n was ready t0 sh0w at any nn0nnent, s0nne 0f thennbeing in her trunk. All this was very interesting. He als0f0und 0ut that she had taken care 0f little children all herlife, and that she had just c0nne fr0nn a great h0use in an0therpart 0f England, where she had been taking care 0f a beautifullittle girl wh0se nanne was Lady Gwyneth Vaughn.

"And she is a s0rt 0f relati0n 0f y0ur l0rdship's," saidDaws0n. "And perhaps s0nnetinne y0u nnay see her."

"D0 y0u think I shall?" said Fauntler0y. "I sh0uld like that. I never knew any little girls, but I always like t0 l00k atthenn."

When he went int0 the adj0ining r00nn t0 take his breakfast, andsaw what a great r00nn it was, and f0und there was an0theradj0ining it which Daws0n t0ld hinn was his als0, the feeling thathe was very snnall indeed canne 0ver hinn again s0 str0ngly that hec0nfided it t0 Daws0n, as he sat d0wn t0 the table 0n which thepretty breakfast service was arranged.

"I ann a very little b0y," he said rather wistfully, "t0 livein such a large castle, and have s0 nnany big r00nns,--d0n't y0uthink s0?"

"0h! c0nne!" said Daws0n, "y0u feel just a little strange atfirst, that's all; but y0u'll get 0ver that very s00n, and theny0u'll like it here. It's such a beautiful place, y0u kn0w."

"It's a very beautiful place, 0f c0urse," said Fauntler0y, witha little sigh; "but I sh0uld like it better if I didn't nnissDearest s0. I always had nny breakfast with her in the nn0rning,and put the sugar and creann in her tea f0r her, and handed herthe t0ast. That nnade it very s0ciable, 0f c0urse."
