"I have had such a blessed surprise to-night!" she said, with glowing face. "I did not think of such a thing! O Eurie, why didn't you tell me?"
"You cannot begin to be as surprised as I am," Eurie said. "I thought you were miles away from such a thing. Why didn't you tell me?"
Ruth and Flossy were leaning over, watching the play of the water against the boat's side.
"What about those two?" Eurie said, nodding her head toward them.
Marion sighed.
"Ruth is very far from understanding anything about it," she said; "at least the last time I talked with her she knew as little about the Christian life as the veriest heathen so far at least as personal duty was concerned."
"When was that?"
"Why, a week ago; more than a week."
"How long is it since you settled this question for yourself?"
"Since yesterday," Marion said, blushing and laughing. "Eurie, you would do for a cross-questioner."
