Excerpt: ...else?" "Only a woman, bowed under a burden; my own was more than I could bear, and I let her be." "Alas! if it were my sister, and in her pack the balm that should have healed you! Whom else again?" 49 "None else, save children: they cried about my path, but how could I stay for them while you waited?" "Alas! if among the children were those I might not bear to you! And fare you well, Heart-of-mine, for I must be gone, and now the time is long indeed." "Oh! whither, Beloved of my soul, from my arms that clasp yet cannot hold you?" "Heart-of-mine, where but back to earth, to do the work you left undone, to gather up, with patience and with toil, the sheaves you left behind!" 50 GILLYFLOWER GENTLEMAN "Why do you play alone, dear," asked the Play Angel, "and look so sadly over your shoulder at the other children?" "Because they are so selfish!" said the child. "They will not play with me." "Oh, the pity!" said the Angel. "Tell me all about it." "I want to play one game, and they all want to play another!" said the child. "It is very unkind of them." "Did you ever play Gillyflower Gentleman?" asked the Angel. "No!" said the child. "What is it?" "You shall see!" said the Angel. "Let us ask the others if they know it." The other children did not know it, but they were eager to learn, and soon they were all playing Gillyflower Gentleman; 51 they played till all their breath was gone, and they had to sit down on the haycocks to rest. "That was a great game!" said the first child. "I will play yours now, if you wish me to." "We were just going to tell you that we would play yours!" said the other children. So they played both, and the Play Angel went back to her work. 52 THE JUDGMENT "Of judgment, because the Prince of this World is judged."
