She tried to believe herself well, free, and happy,
and she began to enjoy a measure of relief. But, at the same time,
Kate Newby was growing more worldly; she began to lose her former
distinctions of right and wrong, and the change was beginning to be
made manifest in many different ways. She began to ignore Jake and to
show an aversion to material things and she began to develop a sort of
overmystical attitude toward life in general.
Finally, Jake asked her point-blank, "Kate, what is the matter with
you? You are acting so queer."
"Well, Jake, I might as well tell you," answered Kate. "I am a
Christian Scientist."
If Jake Newby had been hit with a cannon ball he would not have been
worse shocked.
"Christian Science!" he echoed. "Of all things! Where did you get hold
of that?"
Then she told him of getting the leaflet, then Science and Health,
and how she had gradually been won to embrace it. Jake was clearly
disturbed, and started to argue with Kate, but she had the advantage
in that he did not know anything about it.
