America over the years, especially the Miskito and black Creole people of
Nicaragua and the Mapuche-Pewenche people and the Atacameño people of
Chile. In particular, Marcela would like to thank her family for their love
and support and Julie and Manuel for their patience, understanding, and
solidarity in the tough times.
Thanks to all the entities and institutions that have funded our research in

Finally, special thanks go to all of our wonderful contributors for the
depth and breadth you’ve brought to this project. We’ve learned a lot from
your work and it has been a joy to work with such a large group of people
committed to social and political justice and sophisticated intellectual
enquiry in the part of the world we now refer to as Latin America.

Adam had always been one to feel for and with others,
but he was too shy and silent to express his sympathy. But
these words gave him courage, and he tried to comfort a
fellow workman who was in great trouble at the time. Thus,
between two who had been as strangers, through seeing
each other daily, sprang up a feeling of brotherly kindness
and mutual good-will, which time only tended to
strengthen.
CHAPTER XIX.
STUMBLING-BLOCKS.
The past month had been a very happy one to them all,
for Mrs. Livesey's deputy had ruled by love. Sharp words
and accompanying sharp slaps had become things of the
past. Sarah being young, and yet the eldest of a tribe of
brothers and sisters, well knew how to occupy and amuse
her juniors when indoors.
Still she felt the trust a very serious one, but, as she
told her Uncle Richard, "It came upon me without seeking,
and when there seemed to be nobody else handy to fill the
gap, I couldn't say 'No.' So I just ask that He who gave me
this work to do will, from day to day, give me the will and
the strength to do it well."
"It was nice," she told her own mother, "to see Mrs.
Livesey look them all over and the house too, and then turn
to me and say, 'You've done well by them. I don't know how
to thank you.'"
"I'll take the tie for a keepsake and thank you," replied
Sarah. "But please don't ask me to have any more money.
I've had what I bargained for regular, and I'm best paid in
knowing that you and Mr. Livesey are satisfied, and that
nothing has happened to the children while their mother
was away."
Truly the mother had dropped into her own old ways
without loss of time, and more than one little hand and
back had tingled under her fingers before the night of that
first day, even though the children had been promised new
garments and other good things. It was the old, active,
bustling, quick-spoken Margaret back again, as they were
all soon made to understand.
She had one or two rash plans for laying out a portion
of the capital so as to bring in more interest, but fortunately
Mr. Collinge persuaded her to let the money stay where it
was, on a well-secured mortgage at five per cent.
"I read that old book years and years ago. I don't want
to hear it again," she said.
CHAPTER XX.
BY THE PATH OF SUFFERING.
"AND we know that all things work together for good to
them that love God."
"A deal of good his coming has done us," she said. "Not
one shilling a week has your fine Mr. Drummond put on to
your wages since he came. And he never will. Don't tell me
that he can't. I know better. Where there's a will there's a
way. And you that have worked all your life at Rutherford's.
You haven't had a rise for years. It's a shame. That's what it
is."
"I've had the best rise I ever had," replied Adam. "It's
through Mr. Drummond I got the good news that Jesus
loved me and gave Himself for me. That has made me a
rich man—me that was o' no account;" And the man's face
was lighted with a holy joy as he spoke of his blessed
heritage.
"I was just talking to our Adam about his wages," she
said. "As a regular thing, he only gets a pound a week.
When he has piece work, it mends things a good bit, only
the poor fellow has to slave like anybody on the treadmill
when Rutherford's is busy. But he never grumbles, not he.
You might think half Millborough belonged to him, to hear
him talk."
All the while Margaret, with far less to try her than of
old, was making troubles both for Adam and herself. She
was soon to experience a very real one.
"Poor Margaret! How will she bear it? Oh, sir!" To Mr.
Drummond, who was bending over him in deep distress. "I
shall never lift the hammer again."
Poor Tom was not to blame for this false report. He told
the tale as it had been told to him, and in the anguish of his
childish heart rushed homeward and wailed out his terrible
tidings.
What was now the value of the fortune of which she had
been so proud? How gladly would she have given up every
penny, just for the chance of saying, "Forgive me, Adam.
I'm sorry for my contradictious ways and cross words. Say
you forgive me, and put your kind arm round my neck once
more, whilst we have just one farewell kiss."
"My little Tom heard about it, and ran home as fast as
his feet would carry him. Poor thing! He knew no better
than to speak out. How should he? Where is my poor
