Death-bed Forgiveness
A VETERAN Highlander, between whose family and that of a neighboring
chieftain had existed a long hereditary feud, being on his death-bed,
was reminded that this was the time to forgive all his enemies, even he
who had most injured him. Well, be it so, said the old Gael, after a
short pause, be it so; go tell Kinmare I forgive him,--but my curses
rest upon my son if ever he does.
