tience the reawakening which for the
sake of Donald and my son, pray God, will not delay too long its coming.
I suppose the family cannot be built on a foundation of passion, because
something on earth always becomes revengeful when human beings are too
happy. I shall never try to be too happy again.

Now my memories must lie entombed in the arcana of memory. But some day
when my son is old enough to understand, I shall come back with him to
my Black Hills of Dakota, and breathe to him every sigh of my sorrow.
Then if he takes me in his arms and whispers "Precious Mother," I shall
not have loved and cherished in vain.

MARIANNE.
