what would your life-chronicle say about you?

"Published or unpublished, this woman's life is a goodly chronicle, the title page of which may be read in her quiet countenance; her manner, settled, cheerful, and at ease; her unfailing in all things and in all people. You will rarely find she thinks much about herself; she has never had time for it. And this her life-chronicle, which, out of its very fullness, has taught that the more one does, the more one finds to do--she will never flourish in your face, or the face of heaven, as something uncommonly virtuous and extraordinary. She knows that, after all, she has simply done what it was her duty to do."
