"It is impossible just now; I do not feel as if I could do justice even to 'Hail Columbia." "Then, Medoline, you will give us some of your German songs, and, by the time you are through, Mr. Bovyer will be in the mood to enchant us." "With the exception of our school examinations, I never played before so many persons in my life.
The mistake I made was in measuring womanhood generally by her standard you have taught me, my darling, that angels have not yet ceased to visit our poor earth." "Oh, Mr. Winthrop, you must not go to the other extreme or I shall soon disappoint you." "You are all I could wish, Medoline. If it were possible I would not ask any change in mind or body, my Eve fresh from the hand of God."
There is nothing in the world I want so much as to do His will." "You stepped out of your way, Medoline, to help others, and they have done more in return than you gave," she said, the tears filling her eyes. "I might not have found Christ for years, but for Mr. Bowen perhaps never," I added with a shudder. The dinner bell ended our little fellowship meeting by the firelight. Mr.
He turned to me abruptly and asked, "How old is he?" "I have never asked him," I said mischievously, "but he looks older than you." "Medoline, what are you saying? He was a grandfather years ago." "And I am afraid that is an honor which Mr. Winthrop will never attain," I tried to say sympathetically. Mrs.
"I will rest then until we get there," I said, no doubt very wearily, for I felt not only dizzy, but slightly faint, and sank into my chair.

I quite forgot my weariness then.

You are unacquainted with the habits of this country, and may have been unwittingly led into some indiscretion." "What I have done is a very common thing in Europe even among the best of people." "Do you mean selling your cast-off garments?" "Why, Mrs.
"Don't you like it, dear?" she asked, surprised that I was so silent over my prize. "Yes if it had not come from Mr. Bovyer." "Why, Medoline! not like a gift coming from one so kind and true as he is?" "I wish I had never seen him." I threw down the book and burst into tears. "Surely, Medoline, you have not fallen in love with him? I should be so sorry, for he is not a marrying man."

He turned to me in his keen, incisive way: "No, Medoline, I cannot say that I have not since boyhood, at least, when my mother, who loved the God whom Israel served so indifferently, endeavored to train my rebellious will to His service."
"When you held my hand through that long night, I thought but for your firm grasp I should drift out of reach of life altogether." "I tried to pray that night, Medoline, as I had never done before; I believe my prayers were answered." "Then you have found that the Bible is true?" I asked, looking up eagerly into his face. "Yes, every day more clearly."
Winthrop's parlors in those two weeks, not one had paid me so little attention as this Maurice Graem; and now both he and Mr. Bovyer had written, asking my guardian's permission to have me as life-long companion and friend. "What shall it be, Medoline? You cannot say yes to both of them." The question startled me. "Are you very anxious for me to leave Oaklands?" My lips quivered as I spoke.
