She was, besides, dressed for bad weather; and the grey and mournful face of the day was in harmony with her mood. There was something comforting in this high perch. She seemed more aloof from the troubles and despair of the last few days than she had imagined possible.

How eagerly the people were listening, yet he was only telling them a little story about the love of his father, God. "I wish I had a face like that and a voice like that and could teach like that," thought Peter. "But I am only a poor fisherman. Oh dear, I wish I could be worth something."

The brother and sister who lived so far away from the squalor of Mother Beasley's and who knew nothing of the toil and shifts of the flower-seller's existence, were deeply moved by the recital of what Nan and Bess had observed.
