She perceived that Cally wished to talk about herself, and talk complainingly, and Hen didn't mind. "First time I ever heard such a complaint in this quarter. Is J. Forsythe Avery dead without my knowledge?" "J. Forsythe is in New York. Robert's in the sulks. James Bogue, 2d, is in bed measles, if you please ... Do you ever have the horrible nobody-loves-you feeling? Rather odious, isn't it?"

As the church door complainingly opened and disclosed the wet, weary figure of little Mother Soulard, the worshippers, with that lack of curiosity so characteristic of French-Canadian women when in church, did not look up, nor even appear to notice her as she crowded past them, and also knelt before the statue that had given such wonderful answers to prayer. Devoutly she kissed the Virgin's feet.
