Madge had letters
from her sister at intervals for eighteen months, the last being from
Venice. Then they ceased, and shortly afterwards Mazzini told Baruch
that his sister-in-law was dead.
All efforts to obtain more information from Mazzini were in vain, but
one day when her name was mentioned, he said to Madge, -
'The theologians represent the Crucifixion as the most sublime fact
in the world's history. It was sublime, but let us reverence also
the Eternal Christ who is for ever being crucified for our
salvation.'
'Father,' said a younger Clara to Baruch some ten years later as she
sat on his knee, 'I had an Aunt Clara once, hadn't I?'
'Yes, my child.'
'Didn't she go to Italy and die there?'
'Yes.'
'Why did she go?'
'Because she wanted to free the poor people of Italy who were
slaves.'

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
