　　CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

　　Happiness

　　But I knew he did not need to worry. Even if he was blind, I would always love him and stay with him. However, I decided to talk of other things and make him laugh a little. We talked for many hours that night. When it was time for bed, he asked me, "Jane, there were only ladies in the house where you lived, weren't there?" When I went to bed, I was still laughing. "Good! A little jealous will make him stronger, and not so sorry for himself!"

　　The next day I took him for a long walk. I described the beautiful forest to him, as we sat under a tree. "Tell me, Jane, what happened to you after you left me?" And so I told him my story. He wanted to know all about St. John, my cousin. "This St. John, do you like him?" "He's a serious, religious man, and a very good one. I do like him."

　　"He's perhaps an old man, about fifty years old?" "St. John is only twenty-nine, sir." "And very stupid, I think you said? Not at all intelligent?" I starting laughing. "He has an excellent brain, sir." "Did you say he was rather plain, extremely ugly, in face?" "St. John is a very handsome man, tall and fair, with blue eyes."
