'How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly: I was only a young girl, hardly more than a child, and he was a friend to us then; excepting mamma, the only friend I knew; the Donaldsons were only kind and good- natured acquaintances. 'I am sorry, said Molly humbly, 'I have been so happy with papa.
Our party has been augmented since breakfast by the arrival of several families of Donaldsons some of whom live at too great a distance for visits at any other time than Christmas, when all who stand in any conceivable, or I was about to say inconceivable, degree of relationship to the Donaldsons of Donaldson Manor, are expected to be here.
"But there would be no such objection to an evening party," said one of the young Donaldsons. "We have fine sleighing now, and the moon rises only a little after eight on New-Year's evening; why not invite them for the evening."
"It's quite fine here!" she exclaimed at last; "we've come out of the mist look at the stars!" They both cheered up amazingly. It actually seemed as if they were preposterous enough to take this ordinary meteorological incident as an omen. "We'll have to ask the Rivingtons," said Andrew.

At the Donaldsons' I was a little queen; and as I said, fine feathers make fine birds, all the people were making much of me; and at that ball, which was the first night he came, I had more partners than I knew what to do with.
The Donaldsons' faithfulness, the cessation of the search under the conviction that Clark was dead, both were there, and also David's growing liking for Judson himself.
