arrests the hand that would inflict pain unless for the prevention
of a greater pain. She counsels the transfer of every happiness
to others except where that transfer leads to a sacrifice of
happiness greater than the happiness conferred. In her

watches it in all its wanderings & would fain bring it back to every
bosom from whence it has escaped. If Deontology issue her

she ever frown in order to deter from misconduct – it is only
that (having if she succeed in checking the error) only that she may recompense the its
correction with smiles.
