Will did gather this much, however, from the old man's talk. He had once been quite in a genteel line of business, but had failed for more money than any greengrocer he had heard of; at least, any who did not mix up fish and game with green-grocery proper. This grand failure seemed to have been the event of his life, and one on which he dwelt with a strange kind of pride. It appeared as if at present he rested from his past exertions (in the bankrupt line), and depended on his daughter, who kept a small school for very young children. But all these particulars Will only remembered and understood when he had left the house; at the time he heard them, he was thinking of Susan. After he had made good his footing at Mr. Palmer's, he was not long, you may be sure, without finding some reason for returning again and again. He listened to her father, he talked to the little niece, but he looked at Susan, both while he listened and while he talked. Her father kept on insisting upon his former gentility, the details of which would have appeared very questionable to Will's mind, if the sweet, delicate, modest Susan had not thrown an inexplicable air of refinement over all she came near.

品德内涵
歌德说：“名言集和格言集是社会上最大的财宝——只要懂得在适当的场合把前者带进会话里，在适当的时间唤起对后者的记忆。我们人类社会那些出类拔萃的名家巨人，在推动人类社会向前不断发展的同时，也给我们留下了宝贵的物质财富。他们通过自身的体验和观察研究，还给我们留下了许多有益的经验和感悟，他们将其付诸语言表达出来，被称之为名言或格言，其中蕴含并闪耀着智慧的光芒，成为世人宝贵的精神财富。人们将之作为座右铭，产生着无限的灵感、启发、智慧和力量，从而成为人生的航灯。作为人生的追求者，茫茫人海，关键在于找到属于自己的名家导师，关键在于找到鼓舞自己的名言警句，当然，最关键的是在这些金玉良言的指导下付诸切实的行动。
