And Meg offered her hand with a gesture both affectionate and timid. Ashamed of his momentary pique, Laurie squeezed the kind little hand, and said frankly, "I'm the one to be forgiven.

Dolf took off his hat and entered the church. He hid himself behind a pillar and saw the silver-nailed coffin disappear beneath the black catafalque. "Lord God," he said, "may Thy will be done. Forgive him as I have forgiven him."
