"Yes that's undeniable" replies Gladys "but still you have a dear husband and lovely children."
"Of course I have" cries Helen "and I am quite happy now."
"And as far as I can see there is no reason why you should ever be unhappy again," replies Gladys.
"No" says Helen, "but still I cant quite forget the sadness of my early years."
"Nonsense my dear," cries Gladys, "dont forget what you told me so long ago about your sorrows, they will become like wounds which though healed over are still to be seen, and so though you will not exactly forget the sorrow you will no longer feel the pain."
"Yes" answers Helen laughingly, "that was a very good idea on my part; and though applicable to you then, it certainly applies to me now.
So now our story comes to an end and we will bid goodbye to Helen. She has already partaken freely of the cup of sorrow but now her time has come and she knows what true happiness is and all her sorrows, miseries and heartaches shall be blotted out in that sea of mist and shaddows;—The Past.
