Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Did she have a chance to tell you all this?"
"No," said Mr. Minturn. "But it would have made _no difference,_ if she
had. It came too late."
"You have not the right to say that to any living, suffering human being!"
protested Leslie.
"I have a perfect right to say it to her," said Mr. Minturn. "A right that
would be justified in any court in the world, either of lawyers or
people."
"Then thank God, Nellie gets her trial higher. He will understand, and
forgive her."
"You don't know what she did," said Mr. Minturn. "What she stood before me
and the officers of the law, and admitted she did."
"I don't care what she did! There were men forgiven on the cross; because
they sincerely repented, God had mercy on them, so He will on her, and
what's more, He won't have any on _you_, unless you follow His example and
forgive when you are asked, by a woman who is as deeply repentant as she
was."
"Her repentance comes too late," said Mr. Minturn with finality. "Her
error is _not reparable_."
"There is no such thing as true repentance being too late," insisted
Leslie.
