That, and that only, will ease it all away, and leave you happy and free for life and love.

So long as you let this rancour eat in your heart, Ruth, you are not, and never can be, normal.

You must forgive them, dear, hear what they have to say, and give them the comfort of seeing what they can discover of her in you.

Then your heart will be at rest at last, your soul free, you can take your rightful place in life, and the love you crave will awaken in your heart.

Ruth, dear you are the acme of gentleness and justice.
