Then the little company dropped upon their knees, and the earnest voice took up a prayer which was more an intimate word with a trusted beloved Companion; and they all arose to go about that work of theirs with new zest and a vision! In her alcove out of sight the visitor found refreshment for her own soul, and a vision also.
The table having been laid in front of the alcove, supper was served, and we all did honour to it. We were all blessed with a devouring appetite. While M M was teaching her friend how to mix punch, I was admiring with delight the progress made in beauty by C C . "Your bosom," I said to her, "must have become perfect during the last nine months."
Half an hour, three-quarters went by, nothing stirred, not a sound came from her room; but she was not asleep, her eyes were staring into the gloom; and at last she timidly ventured upon a final appeal, from the depths of the dark alcove. An oath was the only reply she received. And nothing stirred after that. She perhaps dozed off.

Goodnight!" As John was coming out of the Father's room, he met Brother Andrew going into it, with clean linen over one arm and a ewer of water in the other hand.
