Jane continued, her face now deathly pale, her words coming slowly.
"You advised me some time ago about Lucy's going to Trenton, and I am glad I followed it.

You thought it would strengthen her love for us all and teach her to love me the better.

It has--so much so that hereafter we will never be separated.

I hope now you will also approve of what I have just decided upon.
