My help had been needed and claimed; I had given it: I was pleased to have done something: trivial, transitory though the deed was, it was yet an active thing, and I was weary of an existence all passive.
Charlotte BrontëFor I too liked reading, thought of a frivolous and childish kind; I could not digest or comprehend the serious or substantial.
