Will you let me see it ? '' Little Joyce nodded . Mutely she opened the box and took out the black doll . The lady gave an exclamation of amazed delight and almost snatched it from Little Joyce . It was a very peculiar little doll indeed , carved out of some black polished wood . `` Child , where in the world did you get this ? '' she cried . `` Father got it out of a grave in Egypt , '' said Little Joyce . `` It was buried with the mummy of a little girl who lived four thousand years ago , Uncle Roderick says . She must have loved her doll very much to have had it buried with her , must n't she ? But she could not have loved it any more than I do . '' `` And yet you are going to give it away ? '' said the lady , looking at her keenly . `` For Denise 's sake , '' explained Little Joyce . `` I would do anything for Denise because I love her and she loves me . When the only person in the world who loves you is going to die , there is nothing you would not do for her if you could .
XXXXX was so good to me before she took sick .
