Excerpt: ...does she live?" Pg 256 "Everywhere," he answered with a smile. "Wherever a brave soul is needed, there's where you'll find her." "Also in this movement?" "Yes, of course." He soon left to go to work, and the mother fell to thinking of "that movement" for which the people worked, day in, day out, calmly and resolutely. When confronting them she seemed to stand before a mountain looming in the dark. About noon a tall, well-built lady came.

"So he talks about me, my dear son!" she thought. "You asked me whether I'm uneasy? Of course, it's not easy for me. But it would have been worse some time ago; now I know that he's not alone, and that even I am not alone." Looking into the lady's face, she asked: "What is your name?"
