"I like all kinds—every kind!"
"I believe that. I know you have a love for chymistry, and Shakspeare, and natural history. But I should like to know Mignonette's favourite atmosphere."
"The study I like best of all is the one you like least, Dr. Harrison."
"What may that be, Miss Faith?"
"The study of the Bible."
"The Bible! Surely you know that already," he said in an interested voice.
"Did you think so?" said Faith quickly and with secret humbleness. "You made a great mistake, Dr. Harrison. But there is nothing I take such deep lessons in;—nor such pleasant ones."
"You mistake me too, Miss Faith. I do like it. You are strong enough for it to-day—I wish you would give me one of those lessons you speak of?"
"If you loved it, sir, you would not ask me. You would find them for yourself."
"Another mistake!" said the doctor. "I might love them, and yet ask you. Won't you give me one?"
