    John Thornton has an eager mind, starved for intellectual stimulation.  But what John could not have foreseen was that just as his mind needs nourishment, so does his heart.  Mr. Hale's proud, beautiful, kind, stubborn, and compassionate daughter Miss Margaret Hale will bring John Thornton's untutored heart to full and vibrant life.
