In the course of another fortnight I had seen sufficient of Frances Evans Henri, to enable me to form a more definite opinion of her character.

At first I offered her the same help which I had always found it necessary to confer on the others; I began with unloosing for her each knotty4 point, but I soon discovered that such help was regarded by my new pupil as degrading; she recoiled5 from it with a certain proud impatience6. Hereupon I appointed her long lessons, and left her to solve alone any perplexities they might present. She set to the task with serious ardour, and having quickly accomplished7 one labour, eagerly demanded more. So much for her perseverance; as to her sense of duty, it evinced itself thus: she liked to learn, but hated to teach; her progress as a pupil depended upon herself, and I saw that on herself she could calculate with certainty; her success as a teacher rested partly, perhaps chiefly, upon the will of others; it cost her a most painful effort to enter into conflict with this foreign will, to endeavour to bend it into subjection to her own; for in what regarded people in general the action of her will was impeded8 by many scruples9; it was as unembarrassed as strong where her own affairs were concerned, and to it she could at any time subject her inclination10, if that inclination went counter to her convictions of right; yet when called upon to
