CHAPTER XXXV
X WOMAN WITH A MTSSIOi.
Inspiration, as a rule, soars above the pet
tiness of detail, and of all inspiration that
one whose wings are worked by religion flies
the highest and freest from trammels of
custom and caution. A man or a woman
inspired with an ethical mission to hu
manity leels fully convinced that, provided
the evas are kept steadfastly on the glorious
result, the brambles which have for ages
choked the path leading to the great goal
will ia some mysterious manner get cleared
out of the w ay; without faith of this kind
inspiration sinks to the dull level of wisdom.
Sarah Miller was a woman w ith a mission;
a mission, however, of a personal, not of a
general nature. Her mission, as she read it.
was to insure the worldly happiness of her
beloved mistress, and her faith in the in
spiration which prompted the task was such
as to make her believe that she would suc
ceed.
Everything In tuts woman's life turned on
her devotion to Beatrice. Her mind was
like a dark, sunless ruin, in the center of
which springs one pure white marble column,
and that column her love for her mistress.
The wild words she once used when telling
Frank Carruthers what she could do for
Beatrice’s sake, if anything, fall short of the
truth.
