"They did not like to be knighted, the good old people," she said;
"their motto was 'everything in the right place,' and it would not be right,
they thought, to purchase a title for money. My grandfather, the first baron,
was their son. They say he was a very learned man, a great favourite with the
princes and princesses, and was invited to all court festivities. The others at
home love him best; but, I do not know why, there seemed to me to be something
about the old couple that attracts my heart! How homely, how patriarchal, it
must have been in the old mansion, where the mistress sat at the spinning-wheel
with her maids, while her husband read aloud out of the Bible!" "They must have
been excellent, sensible people," said the pastor's son.

conversation turned naturally to noblemen and commoners; from the manner in
which the tutor spoke about the significance of being noble, it seemed almost as
if he did not belong to a commoner's family.
"It is good fortune to be
of a family who have distinguished themselves, and to possess as it were a spur
in oneself to advance to all that is good. It is a splendid thing to belong to a
noble family, whose name serves as a card of admission to the highest circles.
Nobility is a distinction; it is a gold coin that bears the stamp of its own
value. It is the fallacy of the time, and many poets express it, to say that all
that is noble is bad and stupid, and that, on the contrary, the lower one goes
among the poor, the more brilliant virtues one finds.
