forgive
you!’ And
if you
could say
that to me
then, you
will not
hesitate
to say
that to me
now, –
now, when
suffering
has been
stronger
than all
other
teaching,
and has
taught me
to
understand
what your
heart used
to be. I
have been
bent and
broken,
but – I
hope –
into a
better
shape. Be
as
considerate
and good
to me as
you were,
and tell
me we are
friends.”
“We are
friends,”
said I,
rising and
bending
over her,
as she
rose from
the bench.
