Trust any child to find that out, said St. Clare; theres no keeping it from them. But I believe that all the trying in the world to benefit a child, and all the substantial favors you can do them, will never excite one emotion of gratitude, while that feeling of repugnance remains in the heart;its a queer kind of a fact,but so it is. I dont know how I can help it, said Miss Ophelia; they are disagreeable to me,this child in particular,how can I help feeling so? Eva does, it seems. Well, shes so loving! After all, though, shes no more than Christ-like, said Miss Ophelia; I wish I were like her. She might teach me a lesson. It wouldnt be the first time a little child had been used to instruct an old disciple, if it were so, said St. Clare. |
