"I wonder what Dolly would say. I needn't wonder I know. Many women would tell me not to bother, but she wouldn't. She would be like Leach so would Saunders. Great God! I really am vile. I know what I ought to do, but can't. Then there is my child. If I have a hope left it is that he is safe with God. Yes, that's it with God.
I shall live just to prove that you have done nothing of the kind!" It was only Grif she wanted, only Grif, and Grif had come. OF course she recovered. What else could she do? If a man is dying for want of bread and you give him bread enough and to spare, he will regain strength and life, will he not? And so with Dolly.
