"Now, she is sour, grayhaired. But then she was as bright as the sun- and—then I was the pious scribe's widow—I guarded her as the pupil of my eye. I never allowed her to take one step from the house without me." "Well, very good." "Good as life." answered Grena, bitterly. "Come home to me and see what she looks like now! Yes. she is truly a virtuous maiden, but thirty- six years old! Thin—thou couldst count her bones: a face sour, sad; lips always drawn. Very often those dull eyes blaze up then burn with hatred —and dost thou know for whom? Dust thou know whom she despises. whom those muttering lips curse?" "11:horn?" "Me! Me. her own mother!" "What art thou saying? Why?" "Perhaps she, herself, does not know why, but I knowl I have placed myself between her and the world, between her and the sun.
