An old gentlewoman sat spinning in a little arbour at the door of her cottage. She was blind and her grand-daughter was reading the Bible to her. The old lady had just left her work, to attend to the story of Ruth. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law but Ruth clave unto her. It was a passage she could not let pass without a comment. The moral she drew from it was not very new, to be sure. The girl had heard it a hundred times before - and a hundred times more she could have heard it, without suspecting it to be tedious. Rosamund loved her grandmother. The old lady loved Rosamund too; and she had reason for so doing. Rosamund was -to her at once a child and servant. She had only her left in the world. They.
