I heard her begin to tell him how she didn't finish the flowers, and he told her 'I saw it all, Ellie, he said; and he said, 'it didn't want finishing. I wondered how he should see it, but I suppose he did, however. I understood it very well. They went away downstairs after that." "He is beautifully changed," said Mrs. Vawse.
"It is not wonderful, Ellie, nor wrong. But we, who look up to God as our Father who rejoice in Christ our Saviour we are happy, whatever beside we may gain or lose. Let us trust Him, and never doubt that, Ellie." "But still " said Ellen.

"Yes!" said the fairy, solemnly, half to herself, as she closed the wonderful book. "Folks say now that I can make beasts into men, by circumstance, and selection, and competition, and so forth.
