occurred in the village for many a day,
nor were any of the usual customs in that part of Cornwall omitted.

Dame Lanreath declared that she felt younger than she had been for the
last ten years, or twenty for that matter, and Uncle Reuben had
recovered from his rheumatism with the warm spring weather. The
pilchard harvest in that year was unusually early and abundant, and
Michael was able to increase the size of his house and improve its
appearance, while he gave his young wife many comforts, which he
declared no one so well deserved. No one disputed the point; indeed,
all agreed that a finer and happier young couple was not to be found
along the Cornish coast.

They were grateful to God for the happiness they enjoyed, and while they
prayed that it might be prolonged, and that their lives might be spared,
they did not forget that He Who had the power to give had the right to
take away. But, trusting to His mercy and loving-kindness, they hoped
that He would think fit to protect them during their lives on earth,
while they could with confidence look forward to that glorious future
where there will be no more sorrow and no more parting.
