Mr Tiber said : `` This is only to teach you the ropes , Brooke ; I shall have other work for you by and by . '' Aunty told him I had done book notices , and had rather a fancy for literature ; so though I ca n't produce any `` works of Shakespeare '' , as she says , I may get up some little things later . If I do n't , I think it a very honourable and noble profession to select and give good books to the world ; and I 'm satisfied to be a humble helper in the work . ' ` I 'm glad you feel so . It adds so much to one 's happiness to love the task one does . I used to hate teaching ; but housekeeping for my own family was always sweet , though much harder in many ways . Is n't Aunt Jo pleased about all this ? ' asked Mrs Meg , already seeing in her mind 's eye a splendid sign with ` Tiber , Brooke & Co. ' over the door of a famous publishing house . ` So pleased that I could hardly keep her from letting the cat out of the bag too soon . I 've had so many plans , and disappointed you so often , I wanted to be very sure this time . I had to bribe Rob and Ted to keep her at home tonight till I 'd told my news , she was eager to rush down and tell you herself . The castles that dear woman has built for me would fill all Spain , and have kept us jolly while we waited to know our fate . Mr Tiber does n't do things in a hurry ; but when he makes up his mind , you are all right ; and I feel that I am fairly launched . ' ` Bless you , dear , I hope so ! It is a happy day for me , because I 've been so anxious lest , with all my care , I have been too easy and indulgent , and my boy , with his many good gifts , might fritter his time away in harmless but unsatisfactory things . Now I am at ease about you . If only Daisy can be happy , and Josie give up her dream , I shall be quite contented . ' Demi let his mother enjoy herself for a few minutes , while he smiled over a certain little dream of his own , not ready yet for the telling ; then he said , in the paternal tone which he unconsciously used when speaking of his sisters : ` I 'll see to the girls ; but I begin to think grandpa is right in saying we must each be what God and nature makes us . We ca n't change it much -- only help to develop the good and control the bad elements in us . I have fumbled my way into my right place at last , I hope .
Let XXXXX be happy in her way , since it is a good and womanly one .
