A three-cornered note on her dressing-table at bed-time:
Sept. 20th, 1878. Maison Dieu Lodge.
"My dear Mary: Our talk was not satisfactory. Unless you can assure me by to-morrow morning that you believe in the Blessed Trinity and all the other truths of our most holy religion, I fear that, much as we love you, we dare not keep you with us, for your school-fellows' sake.
"Think it over, my dear child, and let me know. Pray to God to-night to change your heart and mind and give you His Holy Spirit.
"Affectionately yours,
"Henrietta Lambert."
