"I wish I could tell it to my mother!" "Can't you?" "I'm afraid it wouldn't keep alive, with me," Sylvie answered, with a little sigh and shadow. "Not even as these flowers will that I am taking to her. I can take, but I can't give, and I always feel so that I ought to. Mother needs the comfort of it. Why don't you come and talk to her, Miss Kirkbright?" "Talk on purpose never does.
