Jim's warning had awakened any doubts in Shirley's mind and it had the doubts were quickly laid by David's presence. She let herself drift; this in spite of certain very definite and very different plans which she had made for her future. Only to Mrs. Jim did it occur to ponder whether the impulse to surrender sprang from deeps or shallows.
Such passages would be found useful, to repeat to one's self and to ponder over, on many occasions when reading is difficult, if not impossible: for instance, when lying awake at night on a railway-journey when taking a solitary walk-in old age, when eye-sight is failing of wholly lost and, best of all, when illness, while incapacitating us for reading or any other occupation, condemns us to lie awake through many weary silent hours: at such a time how keenly one may realise the truth of David's rapturous cry 'O how sweet are thy words unto my throat: yea, sweeter than honey unto my mouth!

We can never too deeply ponder the old esoteric definition of Spirit as "the Power which knows itself": the secret of all things, past, present, and future is contained in these few words.
Before you knocked at the door, my father was saying we should aye 'do as we'd be done by. In that I have obeyed him. But I must run back now, or they will miss me. See you give care to the foot. Fare ye well!" And with that she hastened back to the farm, leaving me to ponder over her manner of applying that golden rule which her father had, while teaching it, so grievously failed to practise.

In the illustration of Dives and Lazarus, the contributions of Lazarus of course ceased when his pockets were exhausted, but those of Dives will continue, and in the lapse of time may attain any amount within the utmost limits of Dives' resources.
