He knows all, and He will pardon.

He knows that I love my father and my mother, and that if I only pleased myself I should never leave their side." Then suddenly as she spoke a strange look of awe fell upon her; I think she had forgotten my presence, for when she spoke, her words were so low that I could scarce hear them.
"I go to my death!" she whispered, the colour ebbing from her face, "but I am in the hands of my Lord; His will alone can be done." I went out from her presence with bent head.

What did those last words signify--when hitherto all she had spoken was of deliverance, of victory?
She spoke them without knowing it.
