Ts while she assumes it before the glass, and blows away the strictly imaginary dust; \
for what worldly impurity can penetrate through half a dozen layers of cambric and \
tissue-paper? Dear me, what a comfort it is to have a nice, fresh, holiday \
faith!--When I returned to the parlor, Miss Blunt was still sitting with her Bible in \
her lap. Somehow or other, I no longer felt in the mood for jesting. So I asked her \
soberly what she had been reading. Soberly she answered me. She inquired how I had \
spent my half-hour. "In thinking good Sabbath thoughts," I said. "I have been walking \
in the garden." And then I spoke my mind. "I have been thanking Heaven that it has \
led me, a poor, friendless wanderer, into so peaceful an anchorage." "Are you, then, \
