PART 2
44. CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
(continued)
"With all my heart, if you will be a brave St. Martin,

cloak with the beggar."
"It's a bargain, and we shall get the best of it!"

happily on again, feeling that their pleasant home was more
homelike because they hoped to brighten other homes, believing
that their own feet would walk more uprightly along the flowery
path before them, if they smoothed rough ways for other feet,
and feeling that their hearts were more closely knit together
by a love which could tenderly remember those less blest than they.
