CHAPTER V
6/8

For why should he not be great and famous?
Why should not all admire him as we do?
You know how proud of him I always was; but I do so long to let the world know why I was so proud.

And yet, after all, it is not only because he is so wise and learned, but because he is so good, and has such a large, noble heart.

Jones actually declares she is already much better.
