Chapter III
Faith appeared upon the scene just then, with the interesting information that she had bitten her tongue; so we talked no more. How pleasant--how pleasant this is! I never supposed before that God would let any one laugh in heaven. I wonder if Roy has seen the President. Aunt Winifred says she does not doubt it.
