Excerpt from How Could He Help It?: Or, the Heart Triumphant
The widow and her little family have given two days to their dead. Two days sacred to tears and tender thoughts, and deep, deep grief. The world can afford no longer space; the landlord will want to know how his rent is to be paid and creditors, even if their dues are small, will want their money now, and food and raiment are to be provided, and they have no father or husband now; he has left his burdens a lo acy for them; ao, let their hearts ache as they may, t eir throes of agony must be repressed. The world with its stern demands is at their door; and how they are to meet them is a question to be answered without delay.
It was the evening of the second day; they had been to the place of graves to deposit their dead, and the little family was gathered in a small, back room adjoin ing their store - all but one.
