w that all was well again between her father and her; that he and she were one, as in the old days. Now that she loved him, there was nothing to be atoned. Glory Goldie awoke as from a dream. While she had stood looking into her father's kindly face the pastor had performed the burial service. Now he was addressing a few remarks to the people; he thanked them, one and all, for coming to this funeral. It was no great or distinguished man that had just been laid to rest, he said, but he was perhaps one who had borne the richest and warmest heart in these regions. When the pastor said this the people again glanced at one another. And now every one looked pleased and satisfied. The parson was right: it was because of Jan's great heart they had come to the funeral. Then the pastor spoke a few words to Glory Goldie. He said that she had received greater love from her parents than had any one he knew of, and that such love could only turn to blessing. At this everybody looked over at Glory Goldie, and they all marvelled at what they saw. The pastor's saying had already come true. For there, at the grave of her parents, stood Glory Goldie Sunnycastle, who had been named by the Sun itself, shining like one transfigured! She was as beautiful now as on that Sunday when she came to church in the red dress, if not more beautiful. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE EMPEROR OF PORTUGALIA*** ******* This file should be named 14356.txt or 14356.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/3/5/14356 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
