off her intellectual and critical feet by it altogether, and
applauded and uttered cries that subsequent reflection failed to

it all falls into place together."
It did begin to fall into place together. She became more and

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Poems by Bronte Sisters: governess:--

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Esther 2: 7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was of beautiful form and fair to look on; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
Esther 2: 8 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was published, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the castle, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
Esther 2: 9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her ointments, with her portions, and the seven maidens, who were meet to be given her out of the king's house; and he advanced her and her maidens to the best place in the house of the women.
Esther 2: 10 Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell it.
Esther 2: 11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.
Esther 2: 12 Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women, twelve months--for so were the days of their anointing accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six month with sweet odours, and with other ointments of the women--
Esther 2: 13 when then the maiden came unto the king, whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
