　　PART FOUR - LIFE AT MOOR HOUSE

　　CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

　　My Past Returns

　　I promised St. John that I would teach at the Morton school until Christmas. Then he could find another teacher. On the last day of school, St. John came to see me as I said goodbye to my students. I was sad to see some of them go.

　　"Jane, your students have already learned so much. And you've only worked here for a few months! Just think how good it would be, if you spent your life teaching!"

　　"Oh, no, St. John," I said, "I don't think I could do it forever. But don't talk about school now. It's Christmas time!"

　　He looked serious. "What are your plans?"

　　"For the next few days, Hannah and I are going to clean Moor House. We'll get everything ready for Christmas.

　　Everything must be ready for Diana and Mary when they come home next week, for a really wonderful time!"

　　St. John smiled. "That's all right for now, but I hope, Jane, that soon you'll think seriously about ways to use your mind, body and heart in the service of God."
