Chapter 11 He didn't go away at the end

╬ Brave and resolute believers face great tribulation (Note 1) If George.plum.Mallory, marveling at the reception he received on his return to England after his expedition in 1922, would have thought of the commemoration in St Paul's Cathedral in his tribute?There was no body, no coffin, no grave, yet thousands of people from all over the country came here to line the streets to pay his respects. Note 1: The hymn quoted here is He Who Would Valiant Be written by Bunyan. ╬ Follow the Lord with all your heart and never lose heart His Majesty the King, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connor and Prince Arthur were all present, as was the Prime Minister Lancy.Macdonald, former foreign minister Lord Coulson, the mayor of London, and even the mayor of Birkenhead attended.

╬ Nothing hinders the timid General Bruce stood on the east side of the church, and Lieutenant Colonel Norton, Doctor Somerville, Professor O'Dell, Major Blake, Major Mosshead, Captain Knoll, and Geoffrey R.Yang.With silver ice axes tucked under their right arms, they followed the Dean of St. Paul down the chapel, past the packed pews, and took their seats in the front row, next to Francis C.Sir Young Husband, Mr Hinks, Mr Rayburn and Lieutenant Commander Ashcroft, representing the Royal Geographical Society. ╬ Believers stick to their original aspirations and walk the Lord’s journey

As Bishop Chester ascended the pulpit steps and read his eulogy to the packed congregation, he tried to articulate the affection and affection the crowd had for these two Birkenhead youths whose actions on Ascension Day inspired the world's imagination. We'll never know, he continued: whether the two of them reached the summit of that mountain together.But who among us can doubt that if the jackpot is within his reach, no matter the odds, George.Mallory will continue to fight, and young Shandi.Irwin will follow him to the end of the world too? Ruth.Mallory sat in the front seat on the other side of the aisle.She had no doubts that her husband would never look back if there was even the slightest chance of realizing his wildest dreams.Herbert.plum.Reverend Mallory, sitting next to his daughter-in-law, thought the same thing.build.Thackeray.Turner sat on the other side of his daughter; thereafter until the time of his burial, he would not comment on it.

╬ Some people are deluded in many ways, want believers to be terrified After the dean of St. Paul's Cathedral gave his blessing and the princes and princes left, Ruth stood alone at the north door, shaking hands with friends and well-wishers.Many of them told her how this intrepid gentleman had enriched their lives. When she saw George.She smiled as Finch waited in line to speak to her.He was wearing a dark gray blazer, white shirt, and black tie that looked like he was going out for the first time.He bowed when he shook hands with her.Ruth leaned over and whispered in his ear: If you were with George, he might be alive today.

Finch did not say what he had always believed: that if he had been invited to join the expedition, he and Mallory would have reached the summit together and, more importantly, returned home safely.Finch admitted, though, that if they ran into any problems, Mallory might ignore his advice and move on, letting him go back on his own. ╬ They are divergent, believers are more courageous Finally, Ruth's father decided it was time to take his daughter home, even though there were still many mourners wishing to pay their respects. On the drive back to Kadming, the two of them rarely spoke a word.After all, Ruth had lost the only man she ever loved, and the old gentleman hadn't expected to be at his son-in-law's funeral.As they passed through the gates of Holt's mansion, Rose thanked her father for his kindness and understanding, though she asked that she be left alone to grieve.He reluctantly left and returned to Westbrook.

╬ Believers still prevail in spite of strong men and enemies The first thing Ruth saw when she opened the front door was an envelope lying on a cushion, written to her by George in his familiar handwriting.She picked up the envelope, thinking sadly that this must be his last letter.She went into the living room, poured herself a glass of what George called a strong whiskey, and sat down on the armchair by the window.She looked up the driveway, expecting for no reason that George would stride across the gate and take her in his arms. ╬ Make good use of the power bestowed by the Lord and walk the path of the Lord

Ruth opened the envelope, took out the letter, and began to read her husband's last words. □□□ my dear: I sat in a small tent at an altitude of about 27,300 feet, almost five thousand miles from home, pursuing the path of glory.Even if I find these paths, it means nothing if I can't share this moment with you. I shouldn't have traveled halfway around the world, only to find out that I'm nothing without you, as many less fortunate men often remind me with jealous eyes, and they don't know half as much.Ask any of them what they would sacrifice in order to last a lifetime of love at first sight, and he would say that he would give half of his life, because there is no such woman in the world.They are wrong.I found that woman, and nothing could ever take her place, not to mention the cold virgin sleeping over my head.

Certain men will brag about their various booty.I actually only have one because I loved you from the moment I first saw you.You are my morning and my sunset. As if that weren't enough, I was even more amazed at my good fortune, for I received a triple blessing. The first blessing came the day you became my wife and agreed to share the rest of your life with me.You became my love that night and my closest friend ever since. The second blessing is that you selflessly encouraged me to live out my wildest dreams, always allowing my head to be full of dreams while you managed to keep your feet on the ground with wisdom and common sense.

The third blessing you have given me is the wonderful family that has brought endless joy to my life even though there are never enough hours each day to share their laughter and wipe away their tears.I always regret that I missed so much of their short childhood. Claire will come after me to Cambridge, where she will not only outwit untested men, but when tested she will succeed where I have failed.Belleji has been endowed with your grace and charm, becoming more and more like you every day, so when she blooms like a woman, many men will bend down and propose to her, but for me, there is no People are qualified.As for John Jr., I can't wait to read his first school report, watch his first football game, and be by his side as he faces what he imagines to be his first life disaster.

My dear, I still have too many things to say, but my hands are getting more and more unsteady.The flickering candle reminds me that I have a purpose tomorrow, when I plan to place your picture on the highest point of the earth, so that I can banish this demon forever and finally return to the only woman I have ever loved. I can see you in Holt House, sitting on the armchair by the window, reading this letter, smiling after every page.Look up, my dear, any time you'll see me striding through those gates, strutting down the paths toward you.Will you jump up and hurry to me so I can take you in my arms and never leave your side again?

Forgive me for taking so long to understand, you mean more to me than life itself. your loving husband, george June 7, 1924 In Ruth.For the rest of her life, at the same time every day, Mallory would sit on that one-seater sofa by the window and reread her husband's letters.
