If we have somebody to take part with us against our sins, how much more against our mistakes, our forgettings! and they are the propitiation, too; their angels the Christ of them do always behold the face of the Father. Their interceding is a part of the Lord's interceding."
He had not spoken of it again; she perceived that he had forgotten it; and she herself forgot that the memory of a boy is never to be depended on; its forgettings are too seldom permanent in the case of things that ought to stay forgotten. To get the book one had only to lean from the window.
