Agatha
listened
with
respect
,
her
eyes
sometimes
filled
with
tears
,
which
she
endeavoured
to
wipe
away
unperceived
;
but
I
generally
found
that
her
countenance
and
tone
were
more
cheerful
after
having
listened
to
the
exhortations
of
her
father
.
It
was
not
thus
with
Felix
.
He
was
always
the
saddest
of
the
group
,
and
even
to
my
unpractised
senses
,
he
appeared
to
have
suffered
more
deeply
than
his
friends
.
But
if
his
countenance
was
more
sorrowful
,
his
voice
was
more
cheerful
than
that
of
his
sister
,
especially
when
he
addressed
the
old
man
.
"
I
could
mention
innumerable
instances
which
,
although
slight
,
marked
the
dispositions
of
these
amiable
cottagers
.
In
the
midst
of
poverty
and
want
,
Felix
carried
with
pleasure
to
his
sister
the
first
little
white
flower
that
peeped
out
from
beneath
the
snowy
ground
.
Early
in
the
morning
,
before
she
had
risen
,
he
cleared
away
the
snow
that
obstructed
her
path
to
the
milk-house
,
drew
water
from
the
well
,
and
brought
the
wood
from
the
outhouse
,
where
,
to
his
perpetual
astonishment
,
he
found
his
store
always
replenished
by
an
invisible
hand
.
In
the
day
,
I
believe
,
he
worked
sometimes
for
a
neighbouring
farmer
,
because
he
often
went
forth
and
did
not
return
until
dinner
,
yet
brought
no
wood
with
him
.
At
other
times
he
worked
in
the
garden
,
but
as
there
was
little
to
do
in
the
frosty
season
,
he
read
to
the
old
man
and
Agatha
.
"
This
reading
had
puzzled
me
extremely
at
first
,
but
by
degrees
I
discovered
that
he
uttered
many
of
the
same
sounds
when
he
read
as
when
he
talked
.
I
conjectured
,
therefore
,
that
he
found
on
the
paper
signs
for
speech
which
he
understood
,
and
I
ardently
longed
to
comprehend
these
also
;
but
how
was
that
possible
when
I
did
not
even
understand
the
sounds
for
which
they
stood
as
signs
?
I
improved
,
however
,
sensibly
in
this
science
,
but
not
sufficiently
to
follow
up
any
kind
of
conversation
,
although
I
applied
my
whole
mind
to
the
endeavour
,
for
I
easily
perceived
that
,
although
I
eagerly
longed
to
discover
myself
to
the
cottagers
,
I
ought
not
to
make
the
attempt
until
I
had
first
become
master
of
their
language
,
which
knowledge
might
enable
me
to
make
them
overlook
the
deformity
of
my
figure
,
for
with
this
also
the
contrast
perpetually
presented
to
my
eyes
had
made
me
acquainted
.
"
I
had
admired
the
perfect
forms
of
my
cottagers
--
their
grace
,
beauty
,
and
delicate
complexions
;
but
how
was
I
terrified
when
I
viewed
myself
in
a
transparent
pool
!
At
first
I
started
back
,
unable
to
believe
that
it
was
indeed
I
who
was
reflected
in
the
mirror
;
and
when
I
became
fully
convinced
that
I
was
in
reality
the
monster
that
I
am
,
I
was
filled
with
the
bitterest
sensations
of
despondence
and
mortification
.
Alas
!
I
did
not
yet
entirely
know
the
fatal
effects
of
this
miserable
deformity
.
"
As
the
sun
became
warmer
and
the
light
of
day
longer
,
the
snow
vanished
,
and
I
beheld
the
bare
trees
and
the
black
earth
.
From
this
time
Felix
was
more
employed
,
and
the
heart-moving
indications
of
impending
famine
disappeared
.
Their
food
,
as
I
afterwards
found
,
was
coarse
,
but
it
was
wholesome
;
and
they
procured
a
sufficiency
of
it
.
Several
new
kinds
of
plants
sprang
up
in
the
garden
,
which
they
dressed
;
and
these
signs
of
comfort
increased
daily
as
the
season
advanced
.
"
The
old
man
,
leaning
on
his
son
,
walked
each
day
at
noon
,
when
it
did
not
rain
,
as
I
found
it
was
called
when
the
heavens
poured
forth
its
waters
.
This
frequently
took
place
,
but
a
high
wind
quickly
dried
the
earth
,
and
the
season
became
far
more
pleasant
than
it
had
been
.
"
My
mode
of
life
in
my
hovel
was
uniform
.
During
the
morning
I
attended
the
motions
of
the
cottagers
,
and
when
they
were
dispersed
in
various
occupations
,
I
slept
;
the
remainder
of
the
day
was
spent
in
observing
my
friends
.
When
they
had
retired
to
rest
,
if
there
was
any
moon
or
the
night
was
star-light
,
I
went
into
the
woods
and
collected
my
own
food
and
fuel
for
the
cottage
.
When
I
returned
,
as
often
as
it
was
necessary
,
I
cleared
their
path
from
the
snow
and
performed
those
offices
that
I
had
seen
done
by
Felix
.
I
afterwards
found
that
these
labours
,
performed
by
an
invisible
hand
,
greatly
astonished
them
;
and
once
or
twice
I
heard
them
,
on
these
occasions
,
utter
the
words
'
good
spirit
,
'
'
wonderful
'
;
but
I
did
not
then
understand
the
signification
of
these
terms
.
"
My
thoughts
now
became
more
active
,
and
I
longed
to
discover
the
motives
and
feelings
of
these
lovely
creatures
;
I
was
inquisitive
to
know
why
Felix
appeared
so
miserable
and
Agatha
so
sad
.
I
thought
(
foolish
wretch
!
)
that
it
might
be
in
my
power
to
restore
happiness
to
these
deserving
people
.
When
I
slept
or
was
absent
,
the
forms
of
the
venerable
blind
father
,
the
gentle
Agatha
,
and
the
excellent
Felix
flitted
before
me
.
I
looked
upon
them
as
superior
beings
who
would
be
the
arbiters
of
my
future
destiny
.
I
formed
in
my
imagination
a
thousand
pictures
of
presenting
myself
to
them
,
and
their
reception
of
me
.
I
imagined
that
they
would
be
disgusted
,
until
,
by
my
gentle
demeanour
and
conciliating
words
,
I
should
first
win
their
favour
and
afterwards
their
love
.
"
These
thoughts
exhilarated
me
and
led
me
to
apply
with
fresh
ardour
to
the
acquiring
the
art
of
language
.
My
organs
were
indeed
harsh
,
but
supple
;
and
although
my
voice
was
very
unlike
the
soft
music
of
their
tones
,
yet
I
pronounced
such
words
as
I
understood
with
tolerable
ease
.
It
was
as
the
ass
and
the
lap-dog
;
yet
surely
the
gentle
ass
whose
intentions
were
affectionate
,
although
his
manners
were
rude
,
deserved
better
treatment
than
blows
and
execration
.
