TANGLED THREADS God has furnished us with constant occasions of bearing one another's burdens.

For there is no man living without his failings, no man that is so happy as never to give offence, no man without his load of trouble.
A loving heart is the great requirement.

Cedric had spent the Easter vacation with Malcolm at Cheyne Walk.
Malcolm had previously sounded Dinah before he gave the invitation, and found that she fully appreciated the thoughtfulness that prompted it.
"It is so like your usual kindness, dear friend," she wrote.

"You felt, as we do, that the Wood House would be too quiet and dull just now for Cedric.

It is so much better for him to be with you.

Indeed, I shall not mind being alone; and when Cedric goes back to Oxford you will run down to see me as you promised." Malcolm was relieved to find a great improvement in Cedric.
