Amanda: A Daughter of the Mennonites
Myers, Anna Balmer
Mennonites -- Fiction
"Ach, I'm not tired." And the two went off in the soft spring night for
a stroll along the lane, Millie in her gray Mennonite dress, Uncle Amos
in his plain suit of the faith. The two on the porch saw her homely
face transfigured by a smile as she looked up into the countenance of
the man who had brought romance into her life, then they saw Uncle Amos
draw the hand of Millie through his arm and in that fashion they walked
along in the moonlight, the man, contented and happy, holding the hand
of the woman warmly in his grasp. To them, no less than to the youthful
lovers, was given the promise of happiness and in their hearts was
ringing Amanda's and Martin's pledge:
"Sure, I will walk with you, my lad,
As love ordains me to,--
To Heaven's door, and _through_, my lad,
O I will walk with you."
