Perhaps it was that by constantly preaching patience, she had learned patience herself.

Perhaps it was through seeing all his goodness and untiring devotion, she began to realize after a while she had been unjust to Doctor Danton.

She could not help liking and respecting him.

She heard his praises in every mouth in the village, and she could not help owning they were well deserved.
Almost without knowing it, she was beginning to like and admire this devoted young Doctor, who never wearied in his zeal, who was so gentle, and womanly, and tender to the poor and suffering.

Doing the brother tardy justice, it began dimly to dawn on her mind that she might have done the sister injustice too.
