Summer passed all too
Marjorie stirred in Allison's arms

"I hope they will not be anxious about you at home

"I love the child. It is a great pleasure to do for her."
After this, in their brief intercourse--during a few minutes in the garden, or by the parlour fire, while the child was being wrapped up to go home--Mrs Esselmont had many a quiet word with Marjorie's faithful nurse and friend, and their friendship grew slowly but surely. Allison's revelation of herself, and of her past life, was for the most part quite unconsciously made. Mrs Esselmont listened and made no comments; but in her own thoughts, when she "put this and that together," she owned that not often in the course of a long life had she come into contact with one in whose character, strength and gentleness, firmness and patience, were more happily combined. Without being aware of it, she was beginning to regard this strong and silent young woman not as a mere maid-servant in the manse, who came and went, and worked for wages like the rest, but as one who, for reasons not to be revealed, had chosen, or had been forced by an untoward fate, to begin a new life in a sphere in which she had not been born. But much as she desired to know more about her, she waited for Allison herself to speak.
"I am sure of it. In the way of kindness done, as in other ways, `It is more blessed to give than to receive.' You are a good nurse, Allison."

"My mother was long ill, and there was no one but me to do for her. I learned to do many things to ease and help her first, and my father afterward."
It had not been a very good day for Mrs Esselmont. She was not strong, the heat and gloom had depressed her, and she sighed now and then as she sat beside Allison and the child in the darkening room

"It is your love for her that makes you wise and firm in dealing with her. And you have been a sick-nurse, I hear."
"She is nearly done with all sorrow now. She must be glad of that," thought Allison.
Mrs Esselmont was thinking of the time which Allison had passed in the infirmary, but Allison had for the moment forgotten that. Her thoughts had gone back to her home and her mother

Mrs Esselmont listened in wonder to the low, pathetic voice which told her this. Was this the girl who had never spoken of her past life in the hearing of any one--who had never named father or mother or home, except perhaps to little Marjorie? Mrs Esselmont was a wise woman. She would have liked well to hear more, but she asked no question to startle her into silence again. After a little she said:
"She has done me much good," said Allison.

"They were happy in having a loving daughter to close their eyes." And she sighed, thinking of her own dearest daughter who was faraway.
"Have they been long dead?" asked Mrs Esselmont gently.
But the rain was falling in torrents by this time, and while they waited, Marjorie fell asleep in Allison's arms.
"No, madam, I don't think it
