[The Truce of God by George Henry Miles]@TWC D-Link bookThe Truce of God CHAPTER V 3/35
How delightful would it have been to receive a smile from your suffering Lord! You have still the very same opportunity, my children, you would have had at Jerusalem.
You can still run to meet your Redeemer! He loves the flowers of a pure heart better than those which make the green fields as beautiful as the blue sky with its stars; and He values the tears we shed for our sins more than the pain we should have felt to see Him suffer.
Still continue to bring the fruits and flowers of piety and obedience to your parents to Jesus, and you will be permitted to wait upon Him in heaven for all eternity. "Go, now, and play! And when the bell rings, come quietly to the church." Not until his little flock had dispersed did Father Omehr perceive that the Lady Margaret was standing almost at his side. The Lady Margaret has changed since we saw her return the parting salute of Rodolph and Henry.
Her cheek has grown brighter, but her brow is smoother and paler.
Her face is sweeter than ever, though still more melancholy.
