XV.
E. L. E. B. translation
A devout woman once wrote thus: "In my own family I try to be as little in the way as possible, satisfied with everything, and never to believe for a moment that any one means unkindly towards me.
"If people are friendly and kind to me, I enjoy it; if they neglect me, or
[pg 028]
leave me, I am always happy alone. It all tends to my one aim, forgetfulness of self in order to please
God
."
