What could Joe's mother say? "Sally!" she cried, and then she murmured: "It's you who don't need any one, Sally. You're strong and independent. You can live your own live. And you've helped make Joe strong. Wait, and see."

"Ah!" cried Godfrey. "I like to hear you talk so. Do you know, I was dreaming this morning about what you said the other day." "What was that?"

Our march resembled a triumphant procession.
