CHAPTER XXIV.
A HEROINE’S PILGRIMAGE.
“There is a vision, in the heart of each,
Of justice, mercy, wisdom, tenderness
To wrong and pain and knowledge of the cure;
And these embodied in a woman’s form,
That best transmits them pure as first received.”
—Robert Browning.
“Behold, the handmaid of the Lord: be it unto me according to thy word.”—Mary.
