"I never came away," said the old woman; "I'm there now!"
"There now?" repeated Stephen; and he looked round the room, which was fast growing dark, and was full of the shadows of the trees outside. "Did you say you were there now, Granny Robin? I don't think it's very bright now; and then you're blind, you know, and couldn't see it if it was."
"It's always bright in the Kingdom of Light, and I can see that sunshine, Stephen," she said.
"I think Granny Robin means her soul can see," said Audrey.
"Quite right, dear child," said the old woman; "it is my soul, and not my poor old body, that is in the Kingdom of Light."
"I wish I was in the Kingdom of Light," said Audrey.
"You must cross over, Audrey," said Granny Robin.
"How can we cross?" asked little Stephen.
"Just as I did," she said. "You can't walk over or swim over; there is only one way."
"What way is that?" asked Audrey.
