“It is too bad,” he said, “maybe she would not have known me at all.... I am sorry ... but you can understand.”
Then he began to clear away the lunch. “The tea is still warm,” he said smilingly, “I believe I will pour a cup for myself ... my nerves are jumping, it may quiet them.”
He filled the cup and raising it he said: “Here is to my Sunday school teacher who believed in me in those days when I believed in myself. God bless her.”

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
