QUOTE : I am Shiloh, whose box you stole. Your godmother's sickness lies in your own keeping, you can heal her in a moment. Make me your slave, and I must do your will.'<br /><br />'You can do this,' Sheila said, 'without my taking a gift from you; you are wise and skilled. O do it, sir, and I will bless your name for ever.'<br /><br />'Pooh! what is the good of that?' said he. 'No, I serve a master, the King of Kings, but we are emptiness itself without your mortal alloy. Do as I bid and I will serve you like a queen. And if you fear me you have only to put me to sleep and I shall sleep for seven hundred years.'<br /><br />'No,' said the tempted girl slowly, 'not even for godmother can I do this; you are full of evil. Lies, lies! Why do you lie so?'<br /> <br />'O,' Shiloh said, 'because I am weary, and dissimulation is stimulation.' <br /><br />'I don't understand that.'<br /> <br />'Well, it is so.' He yawned and yawned. 'Besides, I am the Other Side of things. All you think good may be bad, all you think bad may be good.'<br /> <br />'And I don't understand that.'<br /> <br />Shiloh replied: 'Strong meat for men and lily buds for maids; did Ajax feed on apples?'<br /><br />'I beg your pardon, sir,' said Sheila.
