For instance, Stella who had been so fond of music, once described to him the organ which she would like to have in the fine old parish church of Monksland.

Now that renovated instrument stood there, and was the admiration of the country-side, as it well might be in view of the fact that it had cost over four thousand pounds.
Again, Mr.Fregelius wished to erect a monument to his daughter, which, as her body never had been found, could properly be placed in the chancel of the church.

Morris entered heartily into the idea and undertook to spend the hundred pounds which the old gentleman had saved for this purpose on his account and to the best advantage.

In affect he did spend it to excellent advantage, as Mr.Fregelius admitted when the monument arrived.
It was a lovely thing, executed by one of the first sculptors of the day, in white marble upon a black stone bed, and represented the mortal shape of Stella.

There she lay to the very life, wrapped in a white robe, portrayed as a sleeper awakening from the last sleep of death, her eyes wide and wondering, and on her face that rapt look which Morris had caught in his sketch of her, singing in the chapel.
