Mary Marston

CHAPTER LV
8/9

Her mother-in-law could not help dying; but she never "forgave" her--for what, nobody knew.
After a year or so, Mrs.Wardour began to take a little notice of her again; but she never asked her to Thornwick until she found herself dying.

Perhaps she then remembered a certain petition in the Lord's prayer.

Old Mr.Duppa died, and a young man came to minister to his congregation who thought the baptism of the spirit of more importance than the most correct of opinions concerning even the baptizing spirit.
From him Mary found she could learn, and would be much to blame if she did not learn.

From him Letty also heard what increased her desire to be worth something before she went to rejoin Tom.
Joseph Jasper became once more Mary's pupil.

To him trade came in steadily, and before long he had to build a larger shoeing-shed.
