This girl gradually appeared and weak aunt
and weak brother dominated by his wife grouped
themselves around her. The girls high ideals must
be a part of her, and must never be sacrificed nor

maintaining with equal force view of life and of
affairs which fatty opposed to hers. Love must
enter and play its natural part, and so on. Thus,
