Alice was playing with some birds, which she seemed to have well
trained, as they were flying back and forth from her hand to the bushes.
The two women now came back along the path, stopping now and then to
listen to a bird or to look at a flower. They joined Rupert and Henrik.
"I have quite a lot of names from the spirit world to bring to the
Temple today," said Rupert, "among them fifteen couples to be made
husband and wife."
"I have heard it said," remarked Marie, "that in heaven there is neither
marrying nor giving in marriage."
"Neither is there," answered Rupert, "any more than there is baptism for
the remission of sins. Neither this world nor the world of spirits,
where live the contracting parties, is heaven."
"Isn't this heaven?" asked Marie, looking around on the beauty with
which she was surrounded.
