Many such little games the two play together, as the days go by; and often at bedtime, as Margaret tucks her mother into bed, she asks her:
“Are you comfortable, dear? Do you really think you would be much more comfortable in heaven?”
Or sometimes she will draw aside the window-curtains and say:
“Look at the stars, mother.... Don’t you think we get the best view of them down here?”
So it is that Margaret persuades her mother to delay her journey a little while.
