Beale, Anne

Fiction

'Your grandchild and my grandniece, Mr Prothero,' says Mr Jones, 'may
she grow up as good as her mother.'

'Amen!' replies Mr Prothero.

And with this word we end our story. The wedding wreath--the
christening-robe--the shroud! Again the wreath and the robe! Such has
been our tale, and 'such is life!'
