The whole experience was a revelation.

I had never met such a woman.

No affectation, nor pedantry, nor mannishness to mar the effect.

It was in part the humiliating contrast between her soul-stirring words and my silly little society effort that drove me from the place, but all petty egotism vanished before the wish to be of real use to others with which her earnestness had inspired me.
One lady told me that after hearing her she felt she could go out and be a praying band all by herself.

Indeed she was A noble woman, true and pure, Who in the little while she stayed, Wrought works that shall endure.
She was asked who she would prefer to write a sketch of her and her work and she honoured me by giving me that great pleasure.
