Hetty Gray

CHAPTER XV
29/31

"That is the word you want, my darling, and it was said for such as you." Hetty's tears fell fast, but they were no longer angry tears.

"There was something else," she said presently, when she could find her voice; "something that was spoken for me too." "Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," said Mrs.Kane, stroking her head.

"If He is for you, my dear, you needn't care who is against you," continued Mrs.Kane; "take that into your heart and keep it there."
