One of the great charms of Johnson

One of the great charms of Johnson as a companion was that he could never be boreda and so never be boring.Hewas able to absorb himselfcompletely in which he was doing at the moment; and he regarded no task as too humble for him to undertake. nor so trivial that it was not worth his whileto do it well. He could cook, he could sew, he could darn a stocking and milk a cow, he was an efficient woodcutter and a good hand at embroideryfires always burned when he had laid them and a floor, after Johnson had scrubbed it, was thoroughly clean.
