"It is not hard to die,' / She said, with that fair smile, 'for God's sweet will / Makes bitter things most sweet. In my bright youth / He calls me to His side. It is not hard / To go to Him. " -- '_Ezekiel and other Poems._'
Friends came around Queenie in her trouble. In her letter to Cathy / she compared herself, somewhat quaintly, to Job when all his / acquaintance comforted him. For after the first few hours of / stupefied misery that followed her conversation with Dr. Stewart and / Dora, her natural courage had returned; the pain was crushed / resolutely into the background. Her every thought must be for Emmie; / her one care to retrieve the effects of her unintentional neglect.
