was the snake that crept into Evangeline's thoughts? Was it lasting?
What would naturally dispell it? Are people more brave at night or in the

_At the Mission. Waiting._

Lesson XXIII, Lines 1165-1205.

Why Black Robe Chief? Why expect good tidings at the Mission? What is a
rural chapel? What were vespers and sussuras? What was the cause of the
priest's pleasure? Look up Jesuit work in North America. Why were the
priest's words like snow flakes to Evangeline? How did Evangeline receive

world looks? Does the world look the same at night and in the morning? When
are we most likely to see it as it is? Was Gabriel forgotten? What were the
lessons her life had taught her? What became of her love? How did she act
