Master: And why, Jacques, in your opinion, is he so worthy of respect?
Jacques: Because he attaches no importance to the good works he performs and must therefore be of a naturally kind disposition and have a long-standing habit of doing good.
Master: And how do you reach that conclusion?
Jacques: From the cold and indifferent manner in which he received my thanks. He did not acknowledge me. He didn't say a word. He seemed hardly to recognize me and, who knows, perhaps at this very moment he may be saying to himself with comtempt: 'Kindness must be a very strange thing to that traveller and just dealing a difficult thing for him since he is so touched by them.'
