"Why did you call, Mr. Willoughby?" said Elinor, reproachfully; "a note would have answered every purpose. Why was it necessary to call?" "It was necessary to my own pride.
It is a grace which is too often unrecognized and undervalued; but, when of the true order, it is a jewel of great price. It is to be found in all lands, and in every grade or order of society, as shown by the following examples: A Chinaman was rudely pushed into the mud by an American.
Now his hair had grown grey, and though nothing had clouded his friendship for the Queen, though he had always been ready to serve her, this foolish feeling had not been banished, and again and again mastered his whole being. He by no means undervalued Antony's attractions; but he saw his foibles no less clearly.
So ungrudgingly did he give his time and assistance, that Mavis undervalued his aid, taking it as a matter of course.
