   Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 24.06.2022 00:15   
      
    ak>>  A pupil must gather all his industry to read it to the   
    ak>>  end. ;-)   
    AH>            Hmm.  I gather you figured out "industry" although   
    AH> there are umpteen definitions for this word in the average desk   
    AH> dictionary.  I can see from your excerpt that the author could have   
    AH> used words like "industrious", "diligence", and "enthusiasm" but chose   
    AH> not to.  Shorter words aren't necessarily easier to interpret than   
    AH> longer ones if they're used in unfamiliar ways.  The Victorians often   
    AH> used a lot of description & took their time setting the scene.   
    AH> Once you get into stories like this, however, there's usually plenty of   
    AH> action....  :-)   
      
   As for "industry" as "diligence" I've learnt it from a fairy-tale "Beauty and   
   the Beast". :)   
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   The good merchant was of quite a different opinion; he knew very well   
   that Beauty outshone her sisters, in her person as well as her mind, and   
   admired her humility and industry, but above all her humility and   
   patience; for her sisters not only left her all the work of the house to   
   do, but insulted her every moment.   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
