Miss Gwynne knelt down at the feet of the sobbing Gladys, and taking one of her hands, said,

It was with difficulty that Gladys could conclude, she was herself so affected by Netta's sobs, and Minette's innocent petition, but when they rose from their knees, Netta said, 'I have not really prayed before, Gladys, for a long time.
