Excerpt: ...and good. Well, it has been a lovely day. I have not wished myself at home once. Now I must devote myself to Edna." Edna looked a little tired and bored, and Bessie did 169 not find it easy to interest her. She appeared to be quite indifferent to Miss Donnerton's merits. "Oh, Grace! so you like her, do you?

She could picture her so plainly in the white shining gown and the sparkling cross, with the tears falling on the child's face. "Oh, that I and 170 my little child were there now!" Oh, how sad it all sounded; and she had gone, and not taken the boy with her. "Poor Mr. Sefton!" thought Bessie, as she recalled the sad, quiet tones and the moved look on Richard's face.
