Robert’s recovery was slow. Thin and without energy, he would sit silently in front of a window and stare outside. This went on for months. Ellen suffered, too, from worry. Robert was so weak and lethargic that his doctor finally advised him to go to Bermuda for a long restorative rest. While he was away, this might have been a time when Ellen could catch up on her tasks and even rest a bit herself, but her mother’s health then began to fail. Ellen was required to devote extra time to her care.

All this ought to be enough for a person to endure during one period of time, but there was even more. While trying to find some tranquility at the shore, Ellen took a bad fall on some rocks and seriously injured herself. “Our very great trial” was almost an understatement for this period of time. Thankfully, when Robert returned from his rest in Bermuda, he was back to his old self.

Ellen’s determination and sense of purpose had kept her going, despite her injury, from which she eventually recovered. Life finally returned to normal. But before she had a chance to catch her breath, the challenge of another important task had to be met.
