Poor child! She did not understand what love really meant; that it was
to dole out the overplus of one's life when one was in the mood, or
withhold when one chose, was, as yet, her definition of it. What can an
overindulged child know of the grand motives it takes a life-time to
learn?
Marguerite looked out on the shining night with its tender hush, with no
wind stirring, no sound anywhere. A new life unrolled before her; an
illumination and comprehension of the past that would be builded in the
years to come. Whatsoever was lovely and of good report was to be the
foundation stones of the temple God had bidden her to rear. Would she
learn to be lovely in feature and expression from the inward light of
the soul--the lamp God had set there?
Yet the new life had brought grander duties than mere self advancement,
and Marguerite prayed that she might fulfill them faithfully.
