There was another dramatic silence, finally broken by Mrs. Lathrop's saying slowly and gravely, "Susan, 'f I was you I wouldn't never say " "I ain't goin' to. I made up my mind to never tell a livin' soul the very first thing. To think o' me doin' it!

Mrs. Lathrop, don't you never trust yourself to no junction in this world o' sin 'n' sorrow, whatever else you may in your folly see fit to commit.
It lay so gently in the bosom of the woods which clasped it round as though they said "See how we have guarded and kept it through the centuries for you, the children of to-day."
