[The Girl from Montana by Grace Livingston Hill]@TWC D-Link bookThe Girl from Montana CHAPTER XI 1/19
IN FLIGHT AGAIN When Elizabeth lay down to rest that night, with Lizzie still chattering by her side, she found that there was one source of intense pleasure in anticipation, and that was the prospect of going to God's house to Christian Endeavor.
Now perhaps she would be able to find out what it all had meant, and whether it were true that God took care of people and hid them in time of trouble.
She felt almost certain in her own little experience that He had cared for her, and she wanted to be quite sure, so that she might grasp this precious truth to her heart and keep it forever. No one could be quite alone in the world if there was a God who cared and loved and hid. The aunt and the grandmother were up betimes the next morning, looking over some meagre stores of old clothing, and there was found an old dress which it was thought could be furbished over for Elizabeth.
They were hard-working people with little money to spare, and everything had to be utilized; but they made a great deal of appearance, and Lizzie was proud as a young peacock.
She would not take Elizabeth to the store to face the head man without having her fixed up according to the most approved style. So the aunt cut and fitted before she went off for the day, and Elizabeth was ordered to sew while she was gone.
