Kate was a beautiful daughter who helped comfort her father’s patients. When the doctors assistant, Dr. Carey, took an interest in her, he sent a letter of his feelings.

Kate was learning that in order to bear her own burden well, it was necessary to share that of another. Another moral principle is the forgiveness of serious sin.
