"Isn't it better to be a murderer than murdered?" she asked, with a little smile, feeling she had an unanswerable argument. "Murdered, your body is killed, murderer, your soul," came back in the same stifled voice. Katrine was silent.
You were not made for sorrow!" "Dear Katrine, we were all made for sorrow," said Sylvie slowly, "Sorrow is good for us. And perhaps I have not had sufficient of it to make me strong.
