By and by, the little Lillie, growing up by her mother's side, began to be a compensation for all he had suffered.

The little creature inherited her mother's beauty, the dazzling delicacy of her complexion, the abundance of her golden hair; but there had been given to her also her father's magnanimous and generous nature.
Lillie was a selfish, exacting mother; and such women often succeed in teaching to their children patience and self-denial.

As soon as the little creature could walk, she was her father's constant play-fellow and companion.

He took her with him everywhere.

He was never weary of talking with her and playing with her; and gradually he relieved the mother of all care of her early training.
