, and seems to add a new beauty to the
sweet and gentle Gladys. All eyes are directed towards them, all hearts
warm towards them. Minette is instantly kissing her little cousin, even
Mrs Jonathan takes its tiny hand, as Gladys carries it round in her
mother's pride and joy.

'Your grandchild and my grandniece, Mr Prothero,' says Mr Jones, 'may
she grow up as good as her mother.'

'Amen!' replies Mr Prothero.

And with this word we end our story. The wedding wreath--the
christening-robe--the shroud! Again the wreath and the robe! Such has
been our tale, and 'such is life!'
