“The crimson and gold from the mountain shimmered off in the distance like a flame in the sky. Though somehow she felt it was fading and must be near its end. The leaves were beginning to fall. The winter was almost here. The wind was cold as she shut her window and went about her preparations for the day. Then she remembered what she had heard last night, and a great depression settled over her. No, she must not take that burden upon herself again. She had given it to the Lord, and she would le...ave it there! But she was glad that Mrs. Gray had asked her to come and spend the day and go to church with her. Well, she wouldn’t go down to breakfast this morning. She had a box of crackers in her room and a few grapes. Those would do in place of breakfast. She did not want to meet those awful men who had talked that way last night.
