't know how I wanted
to."
"And what are you going to do now?" asked the Dream.
"Keep on," said Marjorie, bravely.
"In just the same way?"
"No. I've learned some things,--and I shall learn some more. I've made
ever so many mistakes--"
"But you've seen them," said the Dream.
"Yes. I don't think I'll make the same ones again;--and I'll try to
watch and think, so that I will not make so many as I have,--and--but I
wanted, so much, to find some real work to do!"
"Do you remember what I told you, a while ago, that real work is?"
"Yes. Just helping, wisely."
"And how can you help best?"
Marjorie mused for a moment. "By loving, and living love," she said;
"and having your hand ready." And then, after a moment, "Do you suppose
that I will ever find something big to do, instead of just the little
bits by the wayside?"
"It is all 'by the wayside,'" said the Dream; "and the big things will
come,--when you are big enough for them."
