There's nothing I'm not ready to do, to set this matter right; but I must know what I'm about first. What's said against Amelius? Out with it, no matter what 'tis! I'm old enough to be your father; and I feel for you accordingly I do." The thorough sincerity of tone and manner which accompanied those words had its effect. Regina blushed and trembled but she spoke out.
Amelius thought of what one of her women-friends had told him. "She hasn't grown up, you know, in her mind, since she was a child." There were other senses in the poor victim that were still undeveloped, besides the mental sense. He was at a loss how to answer her, with the respect which was due to that all-atoning ignorance. His silence amazed and frightened her.
In another moment, the sound of retiring carriage-wheels announced the defeat of the matron, and settled the serious question of receiving Sally for the night. She sat silent by the window, when Toff had left the room, holding back the curtains and looking out at the murky sky. "What are you looking for?" Amelius asked. "I was looking for the stars." Amelius joined her at the window.
The next friend who borrows of you may not have the means of paying you back." After waiting for the return of Simple Sally, and waiting in vain, Amelius sent a chambermaid to her room, with a message to her. Rufus disapproved of this hasty proceeding. "Why disturb the girl at her looking-glass?" asked the old bachelor, with his quaintly humorous smile.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, a man who took Rufus for his counsellor was a man who acted wisely in every sense of the word. Events, however, of which Amelius and his friend were both ignorant alike, had so ordered it, that the American's well-meant advice, in this one exceptional case, was the very worst advice that could have been given.

"This is your doing," he said. Rufus admitted it, with his customary candour. He had a letter of introduction to the secretary, and he had called by appointment that morning. The Institution wanted something new to attract the members and the public. Having no present intention of lecturing himself, he had thought of Amelius, and had spoken his thought.

There is our religion, sir, as we find it in the Rules of the Community." "Very well, Amelius. I notice, in passing, that the Community is in one respect like the Pope the Community is infallible. We won't dwell on that.
Amelius opened the drawer; it was full of books. "Look at them," she said. Amelius, obeying her, discovered dictionaries, grammars, exercises, poems, novels, and histories all in the German language. "A foreign language tried as a relief," said Mrs. Farnaby, speaking quietly behind him. "Month after month of hard study all forgotten now. The old sorrow came back in spite of it. A dead consolation!
