"Cousin Elsie has all the consolation she needs.

She came to me for a few moments the very day Lily died, and though I could see plainly that she had been weeping, her face was perfectly calm and peaceful; and she told me that her heart sang for joy when she thought of her darling's blessedness." Isa looked very thoughtful.
"I wish I were sure of it," she said half unconsciously; "she was such a dear little thing." "Sure of what ?" cried Molly indignantly; "can you doubt for a moment that that child is in heaven ?" "If she had only been baptized into the true church.

"Well I've only done my duty and can't feel that I'm deserving of blame," said Isadore.
