It won't hurt her anyhow. And we ought always to act
upon the ideal; it is the only safe ground of action. When that which
contradicts and resists, and would ruin our ideal, opposes us, then we
must take measures; but not till then can we take measures, or know what
measures it may be necessary to take. But the ideal itself is the only
thing worth striving after. Remember what our Lord himself said: 'Be ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.'"
"Well, I will think about it, Harry. There is time enough."
"Plenty. No time only not to think about it. The more you think about it
the better. If a thing be a good thing, the more you think about it the
better it will look; for its real nature will go on coming out and showing
itself. I cannot doubt that you will soon see how good it is."
We then went home. It was only two days after that my wife said to me--
"I am more than reconciled to your plan, husband. It seems to me
delightful."
When we reentered Connie's room, we found that her baby had just waked, and
she had managed to get one arm under her, and was trying to comfort her,
for she was crying.
