Comfort in Sorrow
Through cross to crown!—And though thy spirit’s life
Trials untold assail with giant strength,
Good cheer! good cheer! Soon ends the bitter strife,
And thou shalt reign in peace with Christ at length.
Kosegarten
Ay sooth, we feel too strong in weal, to need Thee on that road;
But woe being come, the soul is dumb, that crieth not on “God.”
Mrs. Browning
The hardest chapter yet.

A Ray of Sunshine
Some wishes crossed my mind and dimly cheered it,
And one or two poor melancholy pleasures,
Each in the pale unwarming light of hope,
Silvering its flimsy wing, flew silent by—
Moths in the moonbeam!
Coleridge
That was awkward

Fruit-Piece
For never anything can be amiss
When simpleness and duty tender it.
Midsummer Night’s Dream
I forgot that it's the chapter where we learn that Bessy passed away. A bit unexpected. Poor soul.

Mother and Son
I have found that holy place of rest
Still changeless.
Mrs. Hemans
"Was he bewitched by those beautiful eyes, that soft, half-open, sighing mouth which lay so close upon his shoulder only yesterday? He could not even shake off the recollection that she had been there; that her arms had been round him, once—if never again."
SWEET GOD.

Revenge may have her own;
Roused discipline aloud proclaims their cause,
And injured navies urge their broken laws.
Byron
Mrs. Hale is definitely A BOY MOM

CHAPTER XXIV.
MISTAKES CLEARED UP.
"Your beauty was the first that won the place,
And scal'd the wails of my undaunted heart,
Which, captive now, pines in a caitive case,
Unkindly met with rigour for desert:—
Yet not the less your servant shall abide,
In spite of rude repulse or silent pride."
P&P deja vu pretty much

CHAPTER XXII.
A BLOW AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
"But work grew scarce, while bread grew dear,
And wages lessened, too;
For Irish hordes were bidders here,
Our half-paid work to do,"
“Oh, my Margaret—my Margaret! no one can tell what you are to me! Dead—cold as you lie there, you are the only woman I ever loved! Oh, Margaret—Margaret!"

MEN AND GENTLEMEN.
"Old and young, boy, let 'em all eat, I have it;
Let 'em have ten tire of teeth a-piece, I care not."
Oh, he's gonna be so in love when the time comes

CHAPTER XIX.
ANGEL VISITS.
"As angels in some brighter dreams
Call to the soul when man doth sleep,
So some strange thoughts transcend our wonted themes,
And into glory peep."
Why Bessy talks of death so much lately?…

CHAPTER XVII.
WHAT IS A STRIKE?
"There are briars besetting every path,
Which call for patient care;
There is a cross in every lot,
And an earnest need for prayer."
Anon.
It's a very Christian forward chapter
