he good are called away, and the dear and young perish
untimely,--we perceive in every man's life the maimed happiness, the
frequent falling, the bootless endeavour, the struggle of Right and
Wrong, in which the strong often succumb and the swift fail: we see
flowers of good blooming in foul places, as, in the most lofty and
splendid fortunes, flaws of vice and meanness, and stains of evil; and,
knowing how mean the best of us is, let us give a hand of charity to
Arthur Pendennis, with all his faults and shortcomings, who does not
claim to be a hero, but only a man and a brother.
