It was Phillip who broke the silence, bending to clear away the moss that hid her name. Father, why are there so few words on Mothers tomb? See! here is one that says In loving memory, and another Monmed by her sorrowing children. Why is Mothers grave so bare? Then, my Mary, you lifted your sweet face and whispered: Is it true. Father, what people say? I stooped to kiss your mouth. Nothing is true of her, I said, that is not good. When you read this in after years, the scene will rise up in your memory. I shall be dead and by her side. Tou will know all then, little daughter, and twill be time enough. What should you, with your fifteen years and your clear eyes, know of life and the hearts anguish? I am writing this for you, you and Phillip. Tou will know all when I am dead, and twill be time enough.
