Quote by Frances Hodgson Burnett

“It's the new life in her which strikes me," he said. "She's brought wealth with her and wealth is power to do the good or evil that grows in a man's soul, but she has brought something more... She has begun living with them as if her ancestors have done it for six-hundred years. And what I see is that if she had come without a penny in her pocket she would have done the same thing... She's life," he said, "She's life itself. Good God, what a thing is it for a man or a woman to be life instead of a mass of tissue and muscle and nerve dragged about by the mere mechanism of living." Mount Dunstan about Bettina Vanderpoel”
