She is so fond of hearing that because it is what my father would never say to her." Tommy was so much moved that he could not speak, but in his heart he gave thanks that what Grizel said of him to her mamma was true at last.
"It makes her so happy," Grizel said, "that when I seem to see her now she looks as sweet and pure as she must have been in the days when she was an innocent girl.

I think she can enter into my feelings more than any other person could ever do.

Is that because she was my mother?
She understands how I feel just as I can understand how in the end she was willing to be bad because he wanted it so much." "No, no, Grizel," Tommy cried passionately, "you don't understand that!" She rocked her arms.

"Yes, I do," she said; "I do.

I could never have cared for such a man; but I can understand how mamma yielded to him, and I have no feeling for her except pity, and I have told her so, and it is what she loves to hear her daughter tell her best of all." They put the subject from them, and she told him what it was that she had come to rub out in Caddam.
