"'Tain't the pain, Davy, 'tain't the pain at all," sobbed the child. "What is it then, youngster? Come now, tell your own Davy what's troubling you, there's a good boy." "David, how long is it since mother was taken away from us? It seems so long. I was thinkin' of mother, Davy, and wishing she was here with us this night."
"Dear aunt Lucy!" said Fleda, straining her closer and with her very heart gushing out at these words, "dear aunty Christ came for just such sinners! for just such as you and I."
