"Oh, you know very well!" said Beryl.
"Indeed, I do not," returned he.
"Then you might know," she replied.
"That may be," said Percy; "but as I do not know, I think you ought to tell me."
Beryl looked down, and fidgeted with her slipper before she spoke again.
"You say the Lord's Prayer sometimes, do you not?" she observed suddenly.
"Perhaps I do, sometimes, in church," returned Percy, not quite prepared for such a question.
"Well, you know you say, 'Thy kingdom come,'—that is the kingdom I mean."
"But now you have not told me what it is," urged Percy.
"If you pray about it, you must know what it is, I should think," said Beryl.
