And the Lord  l added to their number  m day by day those who  n were being saved.

The only place that’s better than Sunnybank,” he mused, his hand on Lad’s silken head, his eyes ceasing to rove over his moonlit acres and resting happily on his wife—“the only place that’s better than Sunnybank is heaven.
