The Moorland Cottage

CHAPTER XI
31/56

If Maggie did not show such reverence to her mother's faithful sorrows, others might wonder at her refusal to be comforted by that sweet daughter.

But Maggie treats her with such tender sympathy, never thinking of herself or her own claims, that Frank, Erminia, Mr.Buxton, Nancy, and all, are reverent and sympathizing too.
Over both old and young the memory of one who is dead broods like a dove--of one who could do but little during her lifetime--who was doomed only to "stand and wait"-- who was meekly content to _be_ gentle, holy, patient, and undefiled--the memory of the invalid Mrs.Buxton.
