If you press her unduly, she may cast away her own life in a spasm of perplexity, and how would you feel then ? " The mother, wiping her eyes, answered : " I cannot understand how it is that heaven has made you such an incarnate little demon. You may have happiness, and yet you push it aside. You may be a respect- able and well -placed person, and you decline the prospect. Your heart is still set upon that miserable old mother-in-law, and you reproach yourself for not having served her with a d...evotion sufficiently perfect.
