Book excerpt: Excerpt from Isabel Stirling At the age of four, Isabel was consumed by a desire to go to church and hear "preaching." What preaching might be, she could not imagine. She only knew that every Sunday her grandmother and her father put on their best clothes and went out of the front door, leaving her to a dull morning with Norah. For her dolls and all her other playthings were put away, owing to a tiresome rule made by a great person called God. Sunday was God's day, she was told. He was a person whom she could not see, although she was taught to talk to Him when she went to bed, and to listen when Father talked to Him in the morning and before each meal. He could see her, it seemed, at all times, and very especially when she was naughty. In fact, there was no getting away from Him. That preaching had something to do with Him, she gathered, for they said they went to His house. In that case, they probably saw Him. Her heart beat faster at the idea, but she was more excited than frightened, for she could always hold fast to Grandma's hand. Grandma had told her about beautiful angels, too, and they would probably be there. Moreover, this child was so constituted that, from the beginning to the end of her life, if there were anything to see, she wanted to see it, and if there were anything unusual to do, she wanted to do it.
