"I'm thankful every minute of the day for the happiness we have, and I feel that it has come to us from the same Lord that made the world full of beauty and joy.",The church bells began to ring, ushering in the holy tide. Christmas Eve! Oh, he must hurry, hurry home!,"What do you wish to say?",At the same time she was afraid lest further trouble should occur therein, for it seemed to her that Etwald had paid this visit for the express purpose of making himself disagreeable.,The boy shook his head.
