I dragged myself across to mother, and she opened her eyes and smiled faintly at the sight of our anxious faces. Her dear hands were terribly cut; she winced with pain as she sat up, and was evidently badly bruised, but it was such bliss to see her move and hear her speak that these seemed but light things.
Would He give thee wherewithal to see the sun which He made, and not give thee wherewithal to see Him who made thee, when He made thee after His own image?

"I'm not hurt except for this cut on my head. And I guess I'm scared and bruised from being stepped on. That's all." "All! To think of me not scratched and you hurt! Your father ought to horsewhip me!" "You saved me from being trampled to death!" cried Lydia, indignantly. "Oh there's the auto."
One of them tripped and fell, and seemed from his motions as if he thought it was not worth while to rise again. The other, paying no attention to his companion, came on.
