"He has a number of curious facts in illustration of the power of mere goodness to protect against outrage."
Power

Absence
"The friends whom I have are invaluable, and although not numerous they are sufficient for my enjoyment; and the texture of my own mind renders me very indifferent to the rest of the world."
