Virginia took Loreen home with her. Madame Page's response was negative and rude.

"Did you say she is one of your friends?" she asked in a cold, sneering voice that hurt Virginia more than anything she had yet felt.

"Do you know what this girl is?" asked Madam Page, in an angry whisper, stepping near Virginia.

"You shall not do this, Virginia! You can send her to the asylum for helpless women. We can pay all the expenses. We cannot afford for the sake of our reputations to shelter such a person."

"Then you can answer for the consequences! I do not stay in the same house with a miserable—" Madam Page lost her self-control.

Rollin was understanding and supportive.

"No, dear, I cannot believe you are. This is very painful for us. But if you think this poor creature owes her safety and salvation to your personal care, it was the only thing for you to do. O Virginia, to think that we have all these years enjoyed our beautiful home and all these luxuries selfishly, forgetful of the multitudes like this woman! Surely Jesus in our places would do what you have done."
