"We shall see him again. Think of that."

"You will," said Mrs. Rossitur, very sadly.

"And so will you, dear aunt Lucy dear aunt Lucy you promised him?"

"Yes" sobbed Mrs. Rossitur "I promised him but I am such a poor creature."

"So poor that Jesus cannot save you? or will not? No, dear aunt Lucy you do not think that; only trust him you do trust him now, do you not?"

"I have thought of it a thousand times," said Fleda, sighing; "I would have done it long ago if I could have got here; but it doesn't matter, aunt Lucy. I wish I could have done it."

"You?" said Mrs. Rossitur; "my poor child! you have been wearing yourself out working for me. I never was worth anything!" she said, hiding her face again.
