These scenes of her childhood were always events which had really occurred, and the words which escaped her showed what was passing in her mind. She often spoke and joked about the thorn hedge, and the patience and prayer which had then been recommended to her, which admonition she, in after-life, had frequently neglected, but which had never failed her when she had recourse to it.
