But oh! the
blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any
subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come
out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort -
the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to
weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they
are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift
them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the
rest away.

which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and
wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.
