Aline is now quite a great lady, much sought after in Society, beside
whom her younger sisters are quite humble folk. But more than that,
she is a happy and proud woman, and as for the good she and John
Desmond do unostentatiously, that is written in the hearts of the
poor, and in the books of Heaven.
The twins, by the way, were of the _débutantes_ this year, and are
counted among the beauties of the Season. But I don't think
admiration or newspaper paragraphs will make them vain or worldly,
for have they not been brought up by Aline, who, like a certain royal
saint, goes splendidly to honour her husband's position, but directs
the eyes of her most meek spirit ever towards the Kingdom of Heaven.
THE END.
