Poor Father took to his books , after I had refused all offers of help , and left me to try my experiment alone . I struggled along as well as I could , but Jo was too much for me . I nearly spoiled her by indulgence . You were poorly , and I worried about you till I fell sick myself . Then Father came to the rescue , quietly managed everything , and made himself so helpful that I saw my mistake , and never have been able to get on without him since . That is the secret of our home happiness . He does not let business wean him from the little cares and duties that affect us all , and I try not to let domestic worries destroy my interest in his pursuits . Each do our part alone in many things , but at home we work together , always . '' `` It is so , Mother , and my great wish is to be to my husband and children what you have been to yours . Show me how , I 'll do anything you say . '' `` You always were my docile daughter . Well , dear , if I were you , I 'd let John have more to do with the management of Demi , for the boy needs training , and it 's none too soon to begin . Then I 'd do what I have often proposed , let Hannah come and help you . She is a capital nurse , and you may trust the precious babies to her while you do more housework . You need the exercise , Hannah would enjoy the rest , and John would find his wife again . Go out more , keep cheerful as well as busy , for you are the sunshine-maker of the family , and if you get dismal there is no fair weather . Then I 'd try to take an interest in whatever John likes -- talk with him , let him read to you , exchange ideas , and help each other in that way . Do n't shut yourself up in a bandbox because you are a woman , but understand what is going on , and educate yourself to take your part in the world 's work , for it all affects you and yours . '' `` John is so sensible , I 'm afraid he will think I 'm stupid if I ask questions about politics and things . '' `` I do n't believe he would .
Love covers a multitude of sins , and of whom could you XXXXX more freely than of him ?
