CHAPTER X.
SIR MAGNUS MOUNTJOY.
It was the peculiarity of Florence Mountjoy that she did not expect other people to be as good as herself.

It was not that she erected for herself a high standard and had then told herself that she had no right to demand from others one so exalted.

She had erected nothing.

Nor did she know that she attempted to live by grand rules.

She had no idea that she was better than anybody else; but it came to her naturally as the result of what had gone before, to be unselfish, generous, trusting, and pure.
