She sees people in want, and thinks it must be so, and pities them and relieves them.

But she don't know want herself; and, therefore, she don't know that it makes men beasts and devils.

She's as pure as God's light herself; and, therefore, she fancies every one is as spotless as she is.

And there's another mistake in your charitable great people, sir.

When they see poor folk sick or hungry before their eyes, they pull out their purses fast enough, God bless them; for they wouldn't like to be so themselves.
