Elsie’s Womanhood

CHAPTER SEVENTH
5/12

I will send a note to Spriggs, who can tell us all about it." Mr.Dinsmore's plans were carried out to the letter, and with entire success.

This was Saturday; the orders were sent that afternoon, and on Monday morning the work began.

Aunt Chloe proved fully equal to the cutting of the garments, and Uncle Joe an apt scholar under her patient, loving teaching, and a willing worker at his new employment.

There was scarcely need of even oversight on the part of the young mistress.

She would drop in occasionally, commend their industry, and inquire if anything were wanting; then felt free for books, rides or walks, music or conversation with her father.
But she was often down at the quarter visiting the sick, the aged and infirm, seeing that their wants were supplied, reading the Bible to them, praying with them, telling of the better land where no trouble or sorrow can come, and trying to make the way to it, through the shed blood of Christ, very plain and clear.
