"He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town or borough, in the good old world.  Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms.  His own heart laughed:  and that was quite enough for him."

~ Charles Dickens

Oh. Thank you. Luminous. A gift of beauty delivered all over the world, here. The detail. The perspective. And the last one says it all. The precious detail. Interesting quote.
