noon
I am afraid I am not much like him . Then I knelt down and tried to pray . But my mind was full of all sorts of things , so I thought I would wait till I was in a better frame .

I cried , and mother reproved him for teasing me , saying my illness had left me nervous and irritable . James replied that it had left me where it found me , then .
