It will do me good, and it doesn't matter. That girl was right after all. Oh, what a fool I am!" Then did the girl of the streets set out to play her chosen part. She did not preach at all how could she? Besides, neither had she any use for the Ten Commandments. But if ever Magdalene broke an alabaster-box of very precious ointment, Louise did so that night.
