and I hate it.'

'There is nothing else, so we must make the best of it.'

'But there is something else--there is God, and the love of beautiful

hours passed like a dream until my sisters came in from walking and
began to talk about marriage and men. It made me feel sick--it was

'I don't see how I can pray if I haven't faith.'

'You're too clever; but I would ask you, Alice--you never told me--did
you never believe in God, I mean when you were a little child?'
