Groody saw that Edith lived in a little house, and was probably not in so high a social position as to resent her patronage, her big heart yearned in double sympathy over the poor girl, and she determined to help her in the struggle she knew to be before her; so she said, kindly: "If you'll wait till a clumsy old body like me can get out, I'll see you safe into your home."
"I've been worryin' about you every minute ever since I called, and you was too sick to see me," said Mrs. Groody, "but I've been so busy I couldn't get away. It takes an awful lot of work to get such a big house to rights, and the women cleanin', and the servants are so aggravating that I am just run off my legs lookin' after them.
Moreover, both Edith and Mrs. Lacey were sadly deficient in the doctrines, neither having ever had any religious instruction, and they listened with the grave, earnest interest of those desiring to be taught. Mrs. Groody reconnected herself with her old church "I want to go where I can shout 'Glory!" she said. Rose but faintly sympathized with her mother's feelings.
Why don't you put on petticoats and go out to tea for a livin'?" When the laugh ceased at Crowl's expense, he said: "Don't you put on airs, Mrs. Groody; you are as glad, to hear the news as any one. It's a pity you turned up and spoiled Mr. Lacey's part of the play, for, if this one is anything like her sister, she, perhaps, wanted to be held, as you "
It seems to me the trouble is we lose sight of Him." "Well, well, child, I'm glad to hear you talk in that way," said Mrs. Groody, despondently. "I'm dreadfully discouraged about it all. I know I fell from grace, though, one awfully hot summer, when everything went wrong, and I got on a regular rampage, and that's the reason perhaps. A she-bear that had lost her cubs wasn't nothin' to me.
Groody gave it to her, as she had promised? She saw nothing before her but the part of a weary watcher, for perhaps several weeks. She hesitated no longer, but resolved to mortgage her place at once. Her mother must have delicacies and good attendance, and she must have time to extricate herself from the difficulties into which she had been brought by false steps at the beginning.
Lacey there, that is, 'the human atoms, as you called 'em, are lost sight of." Tears sprang into Edith's eyes, and she said, earnestly, "I am sorry I ever said those words. They are not true. I should grieve very much if my rash, desperate words did you harm after all your kindness to me. I have learned better since I saw you, Mrs. Groody. We are not lost sight of.
He both amused and interested Edith, whose long familiarity with society and lack of any such feeling as swayed him made her quite at ease. With a twinkle in her eyes, she said: "I have thought that perhaps Mrs. Groody could help me find sale for them at the hotel." "I am going there to-morrow, and I will ask her for you, if you wish," said Arden, timidly. "Thank you," replied Edith.
"I think that if you had gone to Him that time when you were so troubled and overburdened He would have helped you," said Edith, gently. "Yes, but there it is, you see," said Mrs. Groody, wiping her eyes and shaking her head despondently; "I didn't go." "But you are heavy laden now. I can see it. You can go now," said Edith, earnestly. "I'm afraid I've put it off too long," said Mrs.
Groody, and the old habitues of the hotel were as polite and deferential to her as if she were a duchess. She was one of those shrewd, strong, cheery people, who would make themselves snug, useful, and influential in a very short time, if set down anywhere on the face of the earth.
