But, when I went to take off my things, Percivale followed me into the room and said, "Whether that man is certain of the facts or not, I cannot tell yet; but I am perfectly satisfied he believes in the manner of which you were speaking, that of obedience, Wynnie. He must believe with his heart and will and life."
For the Father's business is everything, and includes all work that is worth doing. We may say in a full grand sense, that there is nothing but the Father and his business." "But we have so many things to do that are not his business," said Wynnie, with a sigh of oppression. "Not one, my darling. If anything is not his business, you not only have not to do it, but you ought not to do it.
Ethelwyn was not such a good walker as she had been; but even if she had retained the strength of her youth, we should not have got on much the better for it so often did she and Wynnie stop to grub ferns out of the chinks and roots of the stone-walls.
"Not too hard on his picture, my dear; and that was all he had yet given me to judge by. No man should paint a picture like that. You are not bound to disseminate hopelessness; for where there is no hope there can be no sense of duty." "But surely, papa, Mr. Percivale has some sense of duty," said Wynnie in an almost angry tone. "Assuredly my love.
"At all events, my dear, your way is wise for you, and I am glad you do not judge your sister." "Judge Wynnie, papa! That would be cool impudence. She's worth ten of me. Don't you think, papa," she added, after a pause, "that if Mary had said the smallest word against Martha, as Martha did against Mary, Jesus would have had a word to say on Martha's side next?" "Indeed I do, my dear.
For a moment I wished he might die suddenly, and so escape the vacuous despair of a conscious lingering betwixt life and the something or the nothing beyond it. "But I cannot go with you!" I cried; and, forgetting all my duty as a nurse, I wept in agony. "Perhaps another will, my Wynnie, one who knows the way," he whispered; for he could not speak aloud, and closed his eyes.
Don't you think we ought to have Wynnie and Dora in?" "Yes, yes, mamma. Do let us have them in. And Harry and Charlie too." "I fear they are rather young yet," I said. "Perhaps it might do them harm." "It would be all the better for us to have them anyhow," said Ethelwyn, smiling. "How do you mean, my dear?" "Because you will say things more simply if you have them by you.
The wind seemed to bear that growth into my soul, even as the wind of God first breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life, and the sun was the pledge of the fulfilment of every aspiration. I turned and looked at Wynnie. She stood pleased but listless amidst that which lifted me into the heaven of the Presence. "Don't you enjoy all this grandeur, Wynnie?"
In the evening we met in Connie's room, as usual, to have our talk. And this is what came out of it. The window was open. The sun was in the west. We sat a little aside out of the course of his radiance, and let him look full into the room. Only Wynnie sat back in a dark corner, as if she would get out of his way.
But I will explain to you a little, if Mr. Percivale will excuse me." "On the contrary, I am greatly interested, both in the question and the answer." "Well, then, Wynnie; everything has a soul and a body, or something like them. By the body we know the soul. But we are always ready to love the body instead of the soul.
