Joseph Joubert : Pensees

'[Mrs Ward] had found a task for Mrs Lyttelton's quick mind, to while away the too-long hours of that summer [while her husband was fighting in the Boer war], in a translation into English of the "Pensees" of Joubert; their consultations over the fine shades of his meaning, while the bees hummed in the lime tree on the lawn, became the light and relaxation of her days, while, later on, the Introduction she contributed to the book helped its appearance with the public'.
