Henry chafed under this; but he
commanded his temper, though with difficulty, and said, "Will you take
a line to her from me?"

The Sister hesitated. 
"I don’t know whether I ought," said she.

"Oh, then the old game of
intercepting letters is to be played."

"Not by me: after prayer
I shall be able to say Yes or No to your request.  At present, being
at a distance from my Superior, I must needs hesitate."

"Right and wrong must
have made very little impression on your mind cheap
oakleys ice pick sunglasses polished black, if
you don’t know whether you ought to take a letter to a woman from a man who has
just saved her life–or not."

The lady colored highly,
courtesied, and retired without a word.

Little knew enough of human nature
to see that the Sister would not pray against feminine spite; he had now a
dangerous enemy in the house, and foresaw that Grace would be steadily worked
on through her religious sentiments.
