But I wo n't say that again if I can help it . I promise you . '' `` Besides , '' said Una , `` you ca n't expect God to answer your prayers if you take His name in vain , Mary . '' `` I do n't expect Him to answer 'em anyhow , '' said Mary of little faith . `` I 've been asking Him for a week to clear up this Wiley affair and He has n't done a thing . I 'm going to give up . '' At this juncture Nan arrived breathless . `` Oh , Mary , I 've news for you . Mrs. Elliott has been over-harbour and what do you think she found out ? Mrs. Wiley is dead -- she was found dead in bed the morning after you ran away . So you 'll never have to go back to her . '' `` Dead ! '' said Mary stupefied . Then she shivered . `` Do you s ` pose my praying had anything to do with that ? '' she cried imploringly to Una . `` If it had I 'll never pray again as long as I live . Why , she may come back and ha ` nt me . '' `` No , no , Mary , '' said Una comfortingly , `` it had n't . Why , Mrs. Wiley died long before you ever began to pray about it at all . ''
`` That 's so , '' said XXXXX recovering from her panic .
