`` You may do so , my child . After this night I dare not hinder you . Go with my blessing , and may God guide and keep you , and make you strong to do His work and tell His message to humanity in you own appointed way . It is not the way I desired for you -- but I see that I was mistaken . Old Abel spoke truly when he said there was a Christ in your violin as well as a devil . I understand what he meant now . '' He turned to meet Janet , who came into the study with a violin . Felix 's heart throbbed ; he recognized it . Mr. Leonard took it from Janet and held it out to the boy . `` This is your father 's violin , Felix . See to it that you never make your music the servant of the power of evil -- never debase it to unworthy ends . For your responsibility is as your gift , and God will exact the accounting of it from you . Speak to the world in your own tongue through it , with truth and sincerity ; and all I have hoped for you will be abundantly fulfilled . '' IV . Little Joscelyn `` It simply is n't to be thought of , Aunty Nan , '' said Mrs. William Morrison decisively . Mrs. William Morrison was one of those people who always speak decisively . If they merely announce that they are going to peel the potatoes for dinner their hearers realize that there is no possible escape for the potatoes . Moreover , these people are always given their full title by everybody . William Morrison was called Billy oftener than not ; but , if you had asked for Mrs. Billy Morrison , nobody in Avonlea would have known what you meant at first guess . `` You must see that for yourself , Aunty , '' went on Mrs. William , hulling strawberries nimbly with her large , firm , white fingers as she talked .
Mrs. XXXXX always improved every shining moment .
