Chapter XIII
AT ST. ANGELA’S. THE following Sunday was a true Easter Day, as far as a south wind and sunshine, flowers and songs of birds, could make it such. But the brightness of the day only increased Ida’s heart-ache, for how could she rejoice in the sunlight when she thought of the dark black pall that was veiling it from her father’s eyes? Wilfred, who came to Cheyne Walk in the afternoon, tried in vain to persuade her to go out with him.
