The first visit to Ambleside, when I stayed with her at Scale How, was followed in the next 3 years by 2 other visits. In June of 1920 she came to Gloucester to meet and talk to the considerable number of teachers who were working with her in our schools.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The days spent with her were memorable. When you first saw her, knowing that she had been an invalid for many years and must have suffered much, you looked for marks of pain, weariness, weakness. But there were none. After an hour, you never thought of that again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Years had written many lines upon her face, but they were not lines of suffering. They spoke perhaps of the passage of time, but not of age\u2014unless age is what gives and does not take away.

Her face was full of light, wide sympathy and understanding, delicate humor, gentleness, and love.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When she talked with you, she brought out the best that was in you, something that you did not know was there. That is a rare gift. The learned and the great are seldom so endowed. We admire them from afar\u2014and remain afar. She caught you up to her level, and you never quite fell back again. She had given you new light, new power. She expected much of you, more sometimes than you knew you had to give. But she was right: you had it and you gave, and of course you gained by giving.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Her power to inspire deep personal affection in the hearts of many who never saw her was remarkable. She taught a new thing, a new way. In teaching she had to show the old things and ways for what they really are. But her criticism left no sting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She could not be anything but generous, and the ways of her mind were wide. She did not make you feel small and foolish.
