"Oh, you have never wronged me in any way."
"Yes, I have,—God knows it; it was only because I was so fond of you. But you must forgive me; do you hear?"
"Yes, I will forgive you."
"Well, then, I will tell you about it another time; but you will forgive me?"
"Oh, yes, mother!"
"You see, it is perhaps because of this that it has been so hard to talk with you; I have sinned against you."
"I beg of you not to talk so, mother."
"I am happy now, having been able to say so much."
"We must talk more together, we two, mother."
"Yes, that we must; and then you will really read the sermon for me?"
