"...If it's in you to climb you must--there are those who must lift their eyes to the hills--they can't breathe properly in the valleys. God help them if there's some weakness in them that prevents their climbing...This child has--what I have never had and would have made any sacrifice to have. But `the gods don't allow us to be in their debt'--she will pay for it--she will pay." (Emily of New Moon, 338)
