I shall be very glad indeed to come here and learn to know him better under your most kind and faithful teaching, and as I learn, I will try to do my best; but oh, Mr. Eltinge, you can't realize how very weak and imperfect how ignorant and full of faults I am!" "Just so the poor little tree might have spoken if it had had a voice. Indeed I thought it WOULD die.
"Your Saviour will be as tender and patient with you as a mother with her baby that is learning to walk." "Oh," she cried, in a low, passionate tone, "that is the kind of a God I need!" She also remembered the reassuring words that Mr. Eltinge had quoted "As one whom his mother comforteth so will I comfort you," and the promise was made good to her.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, but she was able to remark quietly: "I suppose that is the way you artists keep a memorandum of current events." He replied gravely, but with some answering color also: "Yes, Miss Mayhew, when the current is deep and strong." Van Berg felt himself happy in securing from Mr. Eltinge an invitation to come again.
"Father was very polite to you at breakfast and dinner, and he went to church with you this morning, and I can scarcely remember when he has done this before. I am chiefly to blame for keeping him away so long this afternoon, for I wanted him to see and talk with my friend Mr. Eltinge, who has done me so much good.

Then, turning suddenly around in comical dismay, he said, "Why, bless you, my child, I don't know your name! Well, well, no matter! I know YOU. There are people whose names I've known half my life, and yet I don't know them and don't trust 'em."
I told you how I fixed it so that Butler and that crowd will support the market. I have Rivers and Targool and Harry Eltinge on 'change helping me sell out, and they are the best men there.

"Will a visit before I go down town be too early?" "Not at all. I am always at work early." "Well, Ida, does Mr. Eltinge miss your visits very much? It's selfish in me to let you stay in the city." "He does indeed, sir," said the artist answering for her. "He talked to me continually about her yesterday, although I can't say I tried to change the subject." "Father, Mr.
