Her Confidence in One Who Failed so Unworthily, Shamed Me

Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s Lilith:

Her confidence in one who had failed so unworthily, shamed me.

But neither had I initiated the movement, nor had I any ground for opposing it; I had no choice, but must give it the best help I could!

For myself, I was ready to live or die with Lona. Her humility as well as her trust humbled me, and I gave myself heartily to her purposes.
