"And that was?" asked Tom, while Nancy still held her recovered shilling in her hand, and looked earnestly at her sister.
"'Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass,'" quoted Mary.
"Nice!" said Nancy heartily.

MARY, Cecil, Tom and Nancy were together in the cosy room where there always seemed a bright bit of fire, and a tidy table and a warm welcome.
Mary, for once, sat muffled in a shawl in the arm-chair, and the rest gathered round her, glad to make her welcome to their circle, after her enforced absence of two days in bed with a bad cold.
"Now we are complete!" said Nancy comfortably.
"Yes; I would not have believed that one person being away would make such a difference," said Cecil, looking round the room reflectively.
