bedside table. “So that’s your secret!” she said softly. “That’s the little bit extra that keeps you going?” “That’s no secret, Jean.” She placed a fond hand on her Bible. “How else can a body get through life? I discovered it long ago; the time your father died and you were all so little and helpless. I felt I just couldn’t face the days ahead. And I prayed, Jean. Some words came to me, out of that very Book. ‘As thy days, so shall thy strength be’.” “It’s a promise for the future,” breathed Jean. “The Book’s full of promises just as comforting as that. Why worry about what’s to come? The Shepherd will look after his lambs.” She was growing sleepy now. Jean kissed her and slipped from the room. She went downstairs feeling very happy. Surely what had helped her mother could help her too. As she turned the bend of the stairs it was to see Neta and John saying goodnight in the hall. Neta withdrew herself, flushed, from his embrace. She came and took Jean’s arm lovingly, as she had not done for many a day. “Mum, dear, would it be all right if John and I got married in the Spring?” “Of course it will be all right. Dad and I will be very pleased.” She kissed her fondly. Gran, had been right. There were depths in Neta that time and experience would testify. Leaving them, she went into the room where her husband was sitting thoughtfully beside a dying fire. She put her hand on his shoulder. “Neta and John are being married soon” she told him. “Oh, good!’ He gave her the smile that no one ever saw but her. What a specially nice husband George had always been! “Do you remember, George, when you and I got married? We were so young, so untried. We’ve had lots of ups and downs, but we’ve pulled through. We’ve got so much to be thankful for, George, why should we worry now?”* He took her in his arms. “We’re not going to worry any more,” he said.
