She was just as much in love with him as ever! oh! of that she felt quite sure! she still thrilled at thought of his heroic martyrdom for the cause which he had at heart, she still was conscious of a wonderful feeling of elation when she was with him, and of pride when she saw this remarkable hero, this selfless patriot at her feet, and heard his impassioned declarations of love, even when these were alloyed with frantic outbursts of jealousy.
They were ready to obey because before death they were humble. They had begun to glimpse the blind mystery that is life, in which every one must needs act his part without questioning, with faith in its ultimate meaning, with the will to trust its end.

He blessed the dear, selfless instincts of her heart, his eyes moist and tender. And yet . . . and yet! Kenny laughed again. He had hidden his own money in the fireplace to send through college a runaway youth he had never seen!

He made no talk about it, but all his words and acts thenceforth show a selfless, devoted temper. He bore incalculable burdens and perplexities for the sake of the people. He met the vast complication of forces which mix in politics and war the selfishness, hatred, meanness, triviality, along with the higher elements with the rarest union of shrewdness, flexibility, and steadfastness.
The beneficent services and unremitting labors of that selfless and able teacher of the Cause of God, Jináb-i-Fádil-i-Mazandarání, the details of whose travels and activities I have followed with deep interest, have been to me a constant source of hope and real encouragement, and my hope is that the seeds he has so wisely sown may with your support yield in the not distant future an abundant harvest.
