in your eyes."

Then they were silent, a long silence, until, seated together in their
cabin before a bright log fire, as she held their baby to her breast,
Cassandra broke the stillness.

"Now I see it better, David. As you came here and lived my life, and
loved me just as I was--so to be truly one, I must go with you and live
your life. I must not fail you there."

"You have been tried as by fire and have not failed--nor are you the
kind of woman who ever fails."

Then she smiled up at him one of those rare and fleeting smiles that
always touched David with poignant pleasure, and said: "I think I
understand now. God meant us to feel this way, when he married us to
each other."
