George reached down his great coat

And opened the book at the New Testament

The girl looked at him, and then her heart stood still
Slide 13**
She stooped down and unfastened his boots
Slide 14**
Nan put her strong arms under his
Slide 15**
As she stood and looked at him lying there
Slide 16**
It was only to take up his hat

'George,' she whispered, 'it can be done'
