the virtues were invited, and the virtues only; no men
were invited, only ladies. Many virtues came, small
and great. The small virtues were more agreeable and
more modest than the great; but all seemed to be
well contented and talked kindly to each other, as is
becoming for those who are akin. Then the good God
observed two beautiful ladies who did not seem to be
acquainted with each other. The master of the house
took one of the ladies by the hand and led her to the
other, and he introduced: Charity — Gratitude.

It was the first time since the creation of the world
that the two had met.

What sadness in the wit and what bitterness!

It also occurs to me that my gratitude towards this
great benefactor has its first expression when he can no
longer be sensible of any thanks.
