She had an idea that it was an eminently practicable and beautiful scheme to guide one's life by a fixed system of rules and regulations. She was somewhat balmy in the crumpet about rules and regulations. Whenever she found a new motto, she stuck to it like a leech. So when she found a tasteful placard with the inscription, "Do good, no matter who is hurt," she promptly bought it and hung it in her room. Shortly afterward, Caroline accepted a position with the firm of Schnitzel and Perigord, jewelers. At the time Caroline entered their employ, the two partners were engaged in a hot discussion regarding the merits of a tiara they had lately bought. Caroline straightened out the quarrel in her helpful way by informing the partners that the only way to be happy was to be good. But a few days later, the quarrel broke out afresh. A certain count desired to buy the tiara. Perigord was in favor of taking the tiara to the count immediately, but the cautious Schnitzel restrained him, on the ground that they had no proof of the count's financial responsibility. The result was a terrific argument, which Caroline again succeeded in stilling. The partners finally agreed to his hotel and interview the count. The count gave immediate proof of his solvency, and Perigord was dispatched back to the store to get the tiara. Meanwhile, Caroline had been tormented with a fear that she had left the door of the safe open. True to her principles, she started back to town to correct her fancied neglect. At the store, she found Perigord engaged in opening the safe. Instantly jumping at the conclusion that he was trying to rob his partner, she had him arrested. Schnitzel waited at the hotel until the angry count informed him that he would not buy the tiara on any condition. The next morning, after Schnitzel had procured the release of the infuriated Perigord, the two partners advised Caroline to seek employment in a church. She was entirely too good for them.
