"Why did you do all this for me? he asked. 'I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.' You have been my friend', replied Charlotte. "That in itself is a tremendous thing... after all, what's a life anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die... By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."
