She
excited
the
suspicions
of
public
librarians
by
asking
for
works
on
poisons
.
She
studied
faces
in
the
street
,
and
characters
,
good
,
bad
,
and
indifferent
,
all
about
her
.
She
delved
in
the
dust
of
ancient
times
for
facts
or
fictions
so
old
that
they
were
as
good
as
new
,
and
introduced
herself
to
folly
,
sin
,
and
misery
,
as
well
as
her
limited
opportunities
allowed
.
She
thought
she
was
prospering
finely
,
but
unconsciously
she
was
beginning
to
desecrate
some
of
the
womanliest
attributes
of
a
woman
’
s
character
.
She
was
living
in
bad
society
,
and
imaginary
though
it
was
,
its
influence
affected
her
,
for
she
was
feeding
heart
and
fancy
on
dangerous
and
unsubstantial
food
,
and
was
fast
brushing
the
innocent
bloom
from
her
nature
by
a
premature
acquaintance
with
the
darker
side
of
life
,
which
comes
soon
enough
to
all
of
us
.
She
was
beginning
to
feel
rather
than
see
this
,
for
much
describing
of
other
people
’
s
passions
and
feelings
set
her
to
studying
and
speculating
about
her
own
,
a
morbid
amusement
in
which
healthy
young
minds
do
not
voluntarily
indulge
.
Wrongdoing
always
brings
its
own
punishment
,
and
when
Jo
most
needed
hers
,
she
got
it
.
I
don
’
t
know
whether
the
study
of
Shakespeare
helped
her
to
read
character
,
or
the
natural
instinct
of
a
woman
for
what
was
honest
,
brave
,
and
strong
,
but
while
endowing
her
imaginary
heroes
with
every
perfection
under
the
sun
,
Jo
was
discovering
a
live
hero
,
who
interested
her
in
spite
of
many
human
imperfections
.
Mr

,
in
one
of
their
conversations
,
had
advised
her
to
study
simple
,
true
,
and
lovely
characters
,
wherever
she
found
them
,
as
good
training
for
a
writer
.
Jo
took
him
at
his
word
,
for
she
coolly
turned
round
and
studied
him
—
a
proceeding
which
would
have
much
surprised
him
,
had
he
known
it
,
for
the
worthy
Professor
was
very
humble
in
his
own
conceit
.
Why
everybody
liked
him
was
what
puzzled
Jo
,
at
first
.
He
was
neither
rich
nor
great
,
young
nor
handsome
,
in
no
respect
what
is
called
fascinating
,
imposing
,
or
brilliant
,
and
yet
he
was
as
attractive
as
a
genial
fire
,
and
people
seemed
to
gather
about
him
as
naturally
as
about
a
warm
hearth
.
He
was
poor
,
yet
always
appeared
to
be
giving
something
away
;
a
stranger
,
yet
everyone
was
his
friend
;
no
longer
young
,
but
as
happy
-
hearted
as
a
boy
;
plain
and
peculiar
,
yet
his
face
looked
beautiful
to
many
,
and
his
oddities
were
freely
forgiven
for
his
sake
.
Jo
often
watched
him
,
trying
to
discover
the
charm
,
and
at
last
decided
that
it
was
benevolence
which
worked
the
miracle
.
If
he
had
any
sorrow
,
‘
it
sat
with
its
head
under
its
wing
’
,
and
he
turned
only
his
sunny
side
to
the
world
.
There
were
lines
upon
his
forehead
,
but
Time
seemed
to
have
touched
him
gently
,
remembering
how
kind
he
was
to
others
.
The
pleasant
curves
about
his
mouth
were
the
memorials
of
many
friendly
words
and
cheery
laughs
,
his
eyes
were
never
cold
or
hard
,
and
his
big
hand
had
a
warm
,
strong
grasp
that
was
more
expressive
than
words
.
His
very
clothes
seemed
to
partake
of
the
hospitable
nature
of
the
wearer
.
They
looked
as
if
they
were
at
ease
,
and
liked
to
make
him
comfortable
.
His
capacious
waistcoat
was
suggestive
of
a
large
heart
underneath
.
His
rusty
coat
had
a
social
air
,
and
the
baggy
pockets
plainly
proved
that
little
hands
often
went
in
empty
and
came
out
full
.
His
very
boots
were
benevolent
,
and
his
collars
never
stiff
and
raspy
like
other
people
’

That

said
Jo
to
herself
,
when
she
at
length
discovered
that
genuine
good
will
toward
one
’
s
fellow
men
could
beautify
and
dignify
even
a
stout
German
teacher
,
who
shoveled
in
his
dinner
,
darned
his
own
socks
,
and
was
burdened
with
the
name
of
Bhaer
.
Jo
valued
goodness
highly
,
but
she
also
possessed
a
most
feminine
respect
for
intellect
,
and
a
little
discovery
which
she
made
about
the
Professor
added
much
to
her
regard
for
him
.
He
never
spoke
of
himself
,
and
no
one
ever
knew
that
in
his
native
city
he
had
been
a
man
much
honored
and
esteemed
for
learning
and
integrity
,
till
a
countryman
came
to
see
him
.
He
never
spoke
of
himself
,
and
in
a
conversation
with
Miss
Norton
divulged
the
pleasing
fact
.
From
her
Jo
learned
it
,
and
liked
it
all
the
better
because
Mr
.
Bhaer
had
never
told
it
.
She
felt
proud
to
know
that
he
was
an
honored
Professor
in
Berlin
,
though
only
a
poor
language
-
master
in
America
,
and
his
homely
,
hard
-
working
life
was
much
beautified
by
the
spice
of
romance
which
this
discovery
gave
it
.
Another
and
a
better
gift
than
intellect
was
shown
her
in
a
most
unexpected
manner
.
Miss
Norton
had
the
entree
into
most
society
,
which
Jo
would
have
had
no
chance
of
seeing
but
for
her
.
The
solitary
woman
felt
an
interest
in
the
ambitious
girl
,
and
kindly
conferred
many
favors
of
this
sort
both
on
Jo
and
the
Professor
.
She
took
them
with
her
one
night
to
a
select
symposium
,
held
in
honor
of
several
celebrities
.
