Would my mother forgive me?
I knew she would--as GOD forgives.
And with the thought of her, I knelt down, and put my head on the hall table and prayed from my soul--not for fair winds, and prosperous voyages, and good luck, and great adventures; but that it might please GOD to let me see Home again, and the faces that I loved, ah, so dearly, after all! And then I got up, and crossed the threshold, and went out into the world.
