Without a word, Ann took the girl's hand; together they entered the blue room.
Fledra wheeled about upon Miss Shellington, when the door had been, closed.
"Do you believe all those things you pray about, Sister Ann?" she appealed brokenly.
Ann questioned Fledra with a look; the girl made clearer her demand by adding:
"Do you believe that Jesus hears you when you ask Him something you want very, very bad?"
She looked so miserable, so frail and lonely, that Ann put her arms about her.
"Sit down here with me, Fledra. There! Put your little tired head right here, and I'll tell you all I can."
"I want to be helped!" murmured Fledra.
"I've known that for sometime," Ann said softly; "and I'm so happy that you've come to me!"
"It's nothin' you can do; but I was thinkin' that perhaps Jesus could do it."
