for justice. She, no saviour of society by the force of a superb
example; no daughter of the people, holding wealth in trust for the
people's needs. Yet to both was their work given. Unmarked,
unencouraged save by their love of uprightness and mercy, they stood by
the side of those more hapless, brought some comfort to hearts less
courageous than their own. Where they abode it was not all dark. Sorrow
certainly awaited them, perchance defeat in even the humble aims that
they had set themselves; but at least their lives would remain a
protest against those brute forces of society which fill with wreck the
abysses of the nether world.
