照顾动物的人是善良的人。他们只是练习了善良，与那些做大部分的人不同。因此，思想伊莎贝尔（Isabel）是美德，是最好的养育酌处权和沉默，远离他人的目光，只有那些善于行动的人，也是那些从所做的事情中受益的人。
(People who looked after animals were by and large kind people; they simply practised kindness, unlike those who made much of it. Thus, thought Isabel, are virtues best cultivated-in discretion and silence, away from the gaze of others, known only to those who act virtuously and to those who benefit from what is done.)
