"Yes, I think it is always a miracle," said Fibo gravely.
"And of course," Dreamikins went on, dropping her awestruck tone and speaking in her natural eager little voice,—"of course I had to empty myself, before Jesus could come to me. That's why I went into the garding to do it, so that Meribah could get up easily to heaven. She was quite differcult to get rid of, do you know? And I told her to make haste. She was actooly keeping God waiting! And then she flew up quite frightened. And I watched her till she was out of sight. And then I was ready, so I went upstairs and knelt down in the cupboard, and then you know—then it happened!" After a minute's silence she said:
"I'd like to write to Freda and Daffy and tell them about it. They never did believe in my angels—not properly, but they'll have to believe in Jesus going about with me everywhere, because it says so in the Bible! Can I do it now?"
Fibo was quite willing to help her, and the next morning Freda and Daffy got another letter from their little friend; but it was a short one.
"MY DARLING FRIENDS,—I've just done a most wunnerful thing. I've talked with Fibo, and angels are mostly for babies, and they aren't the Best, so I've sent Meribah back, and Jesus Christ is actooly coming His Own Self to live in my heart. And He has come, and I'm so happy I don't know what to do. It's almost as good as heaven. I can't quite see Him, but when I shut my eyes I do. And He's going to be with me for ever and ever. Good-bye.—Your loving DREAMIKINS.
"P.S.—I've said to God that if His angels are dis'pointed they can look after me when I'm asleep. But when I'm wide awake, I'd rather, oh, much rather have Jesus Christ. Now I feel the grandest, greatest person in the world."
When Freda and Daffy read this letter Freda said:
"It is like Dreamikins, and yet it isn't as funny as she really is. I like to see her when she talks, her eyes laugh so!"
"There will never be anybody again like her wherever we go," said Daffy. "If we sorted out the whole world there couldn't be!"
"I suppose," said Freda slowly, "God took extra trouble when He made her."
"And what a very good thing it was when we went through that little door."
