   turning round to sleep they used to say, "God bless the star." But while she was still very young the sister drooped and came to be so weak that she could no longer stand at the window at night; and then the child looked sadly out by himself and when he saw the star, turned round and said to the patient pale face on the bed "I see the star." And then a smile would come on the face and a little weak voice would say, "God bless my brother and the star."
   And the time came all too soon when the child looked out alone, and when there was no face on the bed, and when there was a little grave among the graves, not there before, and when the star made long rays down towards him as he saw it through his tears. Now these rays were so bright, and they seemed to make such a shining way from earth to heaven, that when the child went to his solitary bed, he dreamt about the star, and dreamt that, lying where he was he saw a train of people taken up that sparkling road by the angels.
   And the star, opening, showed him a great world of light where many more such angels waited to receive him. All these angels who were waiting turned their beaming eyes upon the people who were carried up into the star; and some came out from the long rows in which they stood and fell upon the people's necks and kissed them tenderly; and went away with them down avenues, and were so happy in their company that, lying on his bed he wept for joy.
   There were many angels who did not go with them and among them was one he knew. The patient face that once had lain upon the bed was glorified and radiant. But his heart found out his sister among the hosts.
