Sincerest apologies for chronic typing. Major typo on last line of quotation. Here is the corrected version...

: When Silence Is Beyond Words

: There may be moments in friendship, as in love, when silence is beyond words. The faults of our friend may be clear to us, but it is well to seem to shut our eyes to them. Friendship is usually treated by the majority of people as a tough and everlasting thing which will survive all manner of bad treatment. But this is an exceedingly great and foolish error; it may die in an hour of a single unwise word; its conditions of existence are that it should be dealt with delicately and tenderly, being as it is a sensible plant and not a roadside thistle.

: We must not expect our friend to be above humanity.

: Ouida (English novelist 1839-1908)
