Evidence from the story

Honest and frank

At the bottom of everything she (Mrs. Ruffner) wanted absolute honesty and frankness.

Hard-working

I swept the recitation room three times, then I got a dusting cloth, and I dusted it four times. All the woodwork around the walls, every bench, table, and desk, I went over four times with my dusting cloth.

Friendly

I thanked the captain of the vessel for his kindness, and started again.

Eager to learn

The lessons that I learned in the home of Mrs. Ruffner were as valuable to me as any education I have ever gotten anywhere since.
