The Old Lady noticed the timidity and smiled , with something of her old humour and spirit in her black eyes . `` Time has been when I 'd have packed off unceremoniously any person Andrew Cameron sent here , '' she said . `` But , Sylvia , I have gone through the Valley of the Shadow of Death , and I have left pride and resentment behind me for ever , I hope . I no longer feel as I felt towards Andrew . I can even accept a personal favour from him now . At last I can forgive him for the wrong he did me and mine . Sylvia , I find that I have been letting no ends of cats out of bags in my illness . Everybody knows now how poor I am -- but I do n't seem to mind it a bit . I 'm only sorry that I ever shut my neighbours out of my life because of my foolish pride . Everyone has been so kind to me , Sylvia . In the future , if my life is spared , it is going to be a very different sort of life . I 'm going to open it to all the kindness and companionship I can find in young and old . I 'm going to help them all I can and let them help me . I CAN help people -- I 've learned that money is n't the only power for helping people . Anyone who has sympathy and understanding to give has a treasure that is without money and without price . And oh , Sylvia , you 've found out what I never meant you to know . But I do n't mind that now , either . '' Sylvia took the Old Lady 's thin white hand and kissed it . `` I can never thank you enough for what you have done for me , dearest Miss Lloyd , '' she said earnestly . `` And I am so glad that all mystery is done away with between us , and I can love you as much and as openly as I have longed to do .
I am so glad and so thankful XXXXX you love me , dear fairy godmother . ''
