Excerpt from Out in the World
Undisciplined, wayward, sometimes petulant - pure, warm-hearted, loving. Life was simple feeling. Such was Madeline Spencer when she took upon herself the vows of wifehood. Her husband, Carl Jansen, was older by five or six years; a young man of placid exterior and thoughtful habits, but sensitive and proud. He had, by long continued effort, learned to govern himself; or, in exaeter phrase, to hide what he felt from observation - to maintain a calm outside, even under strong interior excitement. He was considerate of those around him, as well from naturally kind feelings as from a certain ground of principle; but, there was also in this consideration, a desire to stand well in the opinion of others'. This love of approbation had been, in fact, a strong element in the work of self discipline which had for years been in progress.
