`` I could n't go to my bed without coming to see Avis 's grave . I brought her up from a baby -- her dying mother gave her to me . She was as much my own child as any of you . And oh ! I miss her so . You only miss her when you come home , but I miss her all the time -- every day ! '' `` We all miss her , Mother , '' said the old father , tremulously . `` She was a good girl -- Avis was a good girl . Good night , Avis ! '' '' ` Say not good night , but in some brighter clime bid her good morning , ' '' quoted Margaret softly . `` That was her own wish , you know . Let us go back now . It is getting late . '' When they had gone Nanny crept out from the shadows . It had not occurred to her that perhaps she should not have listened -- she had been too shy to make her presence known to those who came to Avis 's grave . But her heart was full of joy . `` Oh , Miss Avis , I 'm so glad , I 'm so glad ! They have n't forgotten you after all , Miss Avis , dear , not one of them . I 'm sorry I was so cross at them ; and I 'm so glad they have n't forgotten you . I love them for it . ''
Then the old dog and XXXXX went home together .
