For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. I will wait patiently, my son, hoping for proofs which shall convince the world of your innocence. I wish I could take the whole burden on my shoulders, and relieve you, my dear boy." "You have, mother; it ceases to crush me, now that you are yourself once more."
