Two sisters maintained a bitter feud for three decades. On Matilda's 70th birthday, Alice felt a sharp pang of remorse, but the feeling quickly faded.
Later, upon hearing that Matilda had fallen ill, Alice felt compelled to visit. Matilda looked sternly at her younger sister.
Finally, in a faint voice, she said, "The doctors say I'm seriously ill, Alice. If I pass away, I want you to know you are forgiven. But if I pull through, things stay as they are!"
