278 The Sister would convert you?

Nay, not I!

Hold! but it's true! You preach to me no more, You, once so glib with holy words! I am Astonished!…

Stay, I will surprise you too! Hark! I permit you…

…It is something new!— To—pray for me, to-night, at chapel-time!

Oh! oh!

Good Sister Martha is struck dumb!

I did not wait your leave to pray for you.

That tapestry! Beshrew me if my eyes

Will ever see it finished!
