owned, pondering. When she had done, his frown
cleared, he shook his head.
"I don't think it need," he said. "Her delicacy, her frailness, have
never struck me as indicating weakness,--they seem simply the proper
physical accompaniments of her crystalline little soul,--she's made of a
fine and delicate clay. She thinks about Death, it is true, but not in a
morbid way,--and that's a part of her ecclesiastical tradition; and she
thinks quite as much about life,--she thinks about everything. I agree

rather not. But she will never marry. She will enter religion. Her
uncle has it all planned out. He destines her for the Servites."
"Oh? The Servites--the Mantellate? I am glad of that," exclaimed Maria
Dolores. "It is a most beautiful order. They have an especial devotion
to Our Lady of Sorrows."
"Yes," said John, and remembered it was for Our Lady of Sorrows that she
