"Have you never been able to call your own mother to your memory?" said
she.
"I think I can now, since I have seen you; but I could not before. I
now can recollect a person dressed like you, kneeling down and praying
by my side; and I said before, the figure has appeared in my dreams, and
much oftener since you have been here."
"And your father?"
"I have not the slightest remembrance of him, or anybody else except my
mother." I then proceeded, and continued my narrative until it was time
to go to bed; but as I was very circumstantial, and was often
interrupted by questions, I had not told a quarter of what I had to say.
