you can’t think how great. It is such a contrast to the last I made, when you were so sick, and everybody so sad. Do you remember?”
“Indeed I do! And how good you were, and how you helped me! I shall never forget that.”
“I’m glad! But what I could do was very little. You have been learning by yourself all this time. And Katy, darling, I want to tell you how pleased I am to see how bravely you have worked your way up. I can perceive it in everything – in Papa, in the children, in yourself. You have won the place, which, you recollect, I once told you an invalid should try to gain, of being to everybody ‘The Heart of the House’”
“Oh, Cousin Helen, don’t!” said Katy, her eyes filling with sudden tears. “I haven’t been brave. You can’t think how badly I sometimes have behaved – how cross and ungrateful I am, and how stupid and slow. Every day I see things which ought to be done, and I don’t do them. It’s too delightful to have you praise me – but you mustn’t. I don’t deserve it.”
But although she said she didn’t deserve it, I think that Katy did!
