Excerpt from A Valiant Woman: A Contribution to the Educational Problem
"There are, on the face of the earth, imaginations without number which pass through life in like manner as the deaf and dumb, and are, for all that, none the less beautiful. They are like the flowers which we see in the distant south. There was a great probability that no eye should ever see them. I am sure that, likewise, there are hidden lives which are charming." So wrote Ximenes Doudan, the charm of whose own life has rescued it from obscurity; and the following pages are written in a loving and reverent desire to lift into the light another of those beautiful, obscure lives which persist in the memory of those who have known them as a source of pure delight and high aspiration.
I am not at liberty to give the name of the valiant woman whose memory persists with me, nor to give any biographical details which might lead to her recognition. I can only give the pure spirit of her - distill, as it were, the perfume from the flower whose name and form and color are to remain unknown.
