"'Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small," he quoted at last, quietly. Gillian met his harshly cynical glance with one of brave defiance. "I don't think God's mills have anything to do with it," she said swiftly. "He'd understand all the excuses and allowances that should be made for her better even than I do. And I shouldn't want to punish Magda. I'd make her happy.
