Creighton and Mr. Ellsworth here soon." "Pray, do not change your plans on my account. I need not see any of your friends; I shall scarcely know they are here," said Jane, with a deep sigh. "If it were possible to defer their visit, I should do so; but situated as we are with Mr. Ellsworth " added Miss Wyllys. "Certainly; do not let me interfere with his coming.
The result of this self-discipline and self-culture was to produce in him all the virtues which are supposed to be specifically and peculiarly Christian.

Creighton and I were organizing, and I remember well the atmosphere of sympathy and admiration which surrounded her as she spoke to an audience in which many of us were well acquainted with the heroic story of Mr. Fawcett's blindness, and of the part played by his wife in enabling him to continue his economic and Parliamentary work. But life then was not all lectures! nor was it all Oxford.
