This was a terrible catastrophe, and Mabel stood for a moment in bitter dismay; she did not know what to do how should she?

Sylvia found her voice again with an effort. "It isn't fair to say that. Burke tried to help him, has tried many times. He may have been harsh to him; he may have made mistakes. But I know he has tried to help him." "Was that why he married you?" asked Matilda, with a bitter curl of the lip. Sylvia winced. "No. I don't quite know what made him think of that. Perhaps in a way he felt he ought.
So we shall never be 'overwhelmed with care and worry, for even when some bitter trouble comes, in which we can see no help nor escape, we know that God can bring good out of what seems to us wholly evil. Will you try to think of this, my child? for sorrow comes to all, and you will not escape it more than another. But God will help you if you put your trust in Him."
