We were chums as far back as I can remember . And mother was so sweet . She was very , very beautiful . I look like her , but I am not so beautiful as she was . '' `` Miss Cornelia says you are far more beautiful . '' `` She is mistaken -- or prejudiced . I think my figure IS better -- mother was slight and bent by hard work -- but she had the face of an angel . I used just to look up at her in worship . We all worshipped her , -- father and Kenneth and I. '' Anne remembered that Miss Cornelia had given her a very different impression of Leslie 's mother . But had not love the truer vision ? Still , it WAS selfish of Rose West to make her daughter marry Dick Moore . `` Kenneth was my brother , '' went on Leslie . `` Oh , I ca n't tell you how I loved him . And he was cruelly killed . Do you know how ? '' `` Yes . '' `` Anne , I saw his little face as the wheel went over him . He fell on his back . Anne -- Anne -- I can see it now . I shall always see it .
XXXXX , all I ask of heaven is that that recollection shall be blotted out of my memory .
