"Yes, sir."
"What is our opportunity then?"
"I know what you mean, Mr. Richmond. You mean, that then we can be patient."
"And content."
"Content?"
"Yes; if it is God's will. We must be content always to do that."
"But I suppose," said Matilda, "I shall, maybe, have more chance to do those things, Mr. Richmond."
"If so, I hope you will do them. But I want you to be always ready to do all the will of God. It is easy to pick out a pleasant duty here and there, or an unpleasant duty even; and stand ready to be faithful in that. But I want you to watch and be faithful in all things, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
"I will try, Mr. Richmond."
"In every change of circumstances, Matilda, we find both new opportunities and new difficulties. God has something new for us in every change. The thing is, to be ready for it."
