Family life -- Juvenile fiction; Voyages and travels -- Juvenile fiction
Yes, Cecile's ultimate destination was France. In that pretty farmhouse
on the borders of the Landes, she and Maurice grew up as happy and
blessed as children could be. No longer orphans--for had they not a
mother in old Mme. Malet, a sister in Lovedy, while Joe must always
remain as the dearest of dear brothers? Were you to ask Cecile, she
would tell you she had just one dream still unfulfilled. She hopes some
day to welcome Mammie Moseley to her happy home in France. The last
thing that good woman said to the child, as she clung with arms tightly
folded round her neck, was this:
"The Guide Jesus was most wonderful kind to you, Cecile, my lamb! He
took you safely a fearsome and perilous journey. You'll let Him guide
you still all the rest of the way?"
"All the rest of the way," answered Cecile in a low and solemn voice.
"Oh, Mammie Moseley I could not live without Him."
Just two things more ... Anton is dead. Miss Smith has ever remained a
faithful friend to Cecile; and Cecile writes to her once a year.
