Excerpt: ... those who saw her face of victory when she came would remember it always. Still, the days were long. And hearts are weak; and Hazel grew exceedingly weary. Chafing most of all against the barriers that kept her from Morton Hollow. At first, when Dr. Maryland left her that night she thought she should go with the sunrise next day. Then recollected herself. 'I said I would follow his bidding if I could, ' she remembered, 'and I can wait one day.' And so she could wait two, and so she waited on.
