I see the others are all hurrying upstairs, but there is no one to direct me." The woman had not taken her eyes from Faith's face while the young girl was talking. She seemed to be scanning her features with more than ordinary curiosity. "Where do you live?" The question was asked by the woman in a business-like manner, but as Faith hesitated before answering the sharp eyes twinkled a little.
Hope clutched Faith's hand, and the complaining monkey gave a last babyish little cry, and snuggled down in the warmth of their nestling forms, his sorrows quickly forgotten in slumber. He was safe so long as his mistress held him. Suddenly a thought came to Faith. She looked down at the mite, then upwards, and her eyes were like radiant stars in her pale young face.
Part of the roof, in its fall, broke through the solid floor of the choir, which was of immense thickness, into Saint Faith's, and destroyed the magazine of books and paper deposited there by the booksellers.
Your ancient creed, once faith's sustaining lever, The loved who erst prayed with you now may never? "Has not ambition's paean Some power within your hearts to wake anew To deeds of higher emprise worthier you, Ye monkish men, Than may be reaped from fields? Do ye not rue The drone-like course of life ye now pursue?
She began to say, "Make me?" but changed her mind and stood on one side with a sudden meekness that would have amazed anyone who knew her. And the Beggar Man opened the door and went out into the passage. She followed him then and spoke in a subdued way. "Look here, I'm not taking sides any longer, so don't you think it.

"But where is Esther?" asked Mrs. Carew. "Is she not with you, Faith?" "I left her in the sitting-room, hours ago!" answered the little girl. "'Hours ago," repeated Mrs. Carew.
"Must you tell him so soon?" "I must." Faith's hand had been on Warwick's arm; as he spoke the last words she bent her head upon it for an instant, then without another word turned and hurried back as rapidly as she had come, while Warwick stood where she left him, motionless as if buried in some absorbing thought.

"The Americans seem to be gaining courage," said Aunt Prissy. "The men of the Wilderness do not mean to let the other Colonies do all the fighting, I'm sure."
Aunt Faith's mystification was not lessened. The front door opened on a small, square hall, with doors to right and left. The room on the left, spite of the bare floor and fireless hearth, was warm with the spring sunshine that came pouring in at the south windows.
