Phoebe's resolution had its own reward, for her change of conduct
seemed to bring about a change in Margaret's too. Of course this
took some time, for bad feelings cannot be rooted up all at once.
But as the months passed on, every one could see a great
improvement in Margaret. Little beginnings often bring much greater

feelings of gratitude for the lesson which had been taught her by
means of one forgiving little heart.

On this birthday night Uncle Roger was much pleased to hear Phoebe
speak as she did; and her happiness was quite full when, drawing
her on his knee, he added, "And my little Phoebe has shown me that,
with God's help, she has learned the meaning of 'APPLE-PIE ORDER.'"
