Could n't we invent a rich relation , who shall obligingly die out there in Germany , and leave him a tidy little fortune ? '' said Laurie , when they began to pace up and down the long drawing room , arm in arm , as they were fond of doing , in memory of the chateau garden . `` Jo would find us out , and spoil it all . She is very proud of him , just as he is , and said yesterday that she thought poverty was a beautiful thing . '' `` Bless her dear heart ! She wo n't think so when she has a literary husband , and a dozen little professors and professorins to support . We wo n't interfere now , but watch our chance , and do them a good turn in spite of themselves . I owe Jo for a part of my education , and she believes in people 's paying their honest debts , so I 'll get round her in that way . '' `` How delightful it is to be able to help others , is n't it ? That was always one of my dreams , to have the power of giving freely , and thanks to you , the dream has come true . '' `` Ah , we 'll do quantities of good , wo n't we ? There 's one sort of poverty that I particularly like to help . Out-and-out beggars get taken care of , but poor gentle folks fare badly , because they wo n't ask , and people do n't dare to offer charity . Yet there are a thousand ways of helping them , if one only knows how to do it so delicately that it does not offend . I must say , I like to serve a decayed gentleman better than a blarnerying beggar . I suppose it 's wrong , but I do , though it is harder . '' `` Because it takes a gentleman to do it , '' added the other member of the domestic admiration society . `` Thank you , I 'm afraid I do n't deserve that pretty compliment . But I was going to say that while I was dawdling about abroad , I saw a good many talented young fellows making all sorts of sacrifices , and enduring real hardships , that they might realize their dreams . Splendid fellows , some of them , working like heros , poor and friendless , but so full of courage , patience , and ambition that I was ashamed of myself , and longed to give them a right good lift .
Those are people whom it 's a satisfaction to XXXXX , for if they 've got genius , it 's an honor to be allowed to serve them , and not let it be lost or delayed for want of fuel to keep the pot boiling .
