In the Alcott family however it was just the reverse of this, for May the youngest daughter was the only one like her father, inheriting the artistic side of his nature, instead of the philosophical.

She glanced at his face, white and pinched and apathetic he must have seen hundreds of similar episodes in the course of his nightly duties. He was unmoved as he took her fare.
