32
The Way of the Cross
—And have you any fugitives?
—No, none whatever, none.
I take a glance inside to see how the place has been arranged.
I meet a very pleasant person in charge, a young girl with a kind, simple face, a face such as one often sees.
A face I knew.
Had I met her before in a village school? Or at the time of an epidemic? Or in time of famine?
It's more likely that I never met her before.
But young people with faces like hers are seen everywhere where there is need of help
—For the people.
I shall often meet them now on this way of affliction.
—You haven't any fugitives yet?
—How haven't we any? We have.
—You have?
