Perhaps our neighbour has his secrets too, and wears the thicker mask the more he dreads detection.

With a just parent there is only one ground of partiality — weakness ; only one child that has more than its share of love — the invalid. Yet is it not an unconscious and cruel selfishness of love that would wish for that child a prolonged hospital life ?
