"You'll have it yet to learn, that nothing helps a sorrow that can't be helped like bearing it. I don't mean to lie down under it like a dumb beast--but just take it up and bear it. That's what you're doing now, and sometime you'll be able to carry it, and still laugh now and again, when it's right to laugh--and even jest, on occasion. It's been done and done well. It's good for a man to do it. The lass down there at the cabin is doing it--and the mother is not. She's living in the past. Maybe she can't help it."
