'And independence the root of happiness.' 

'True.  "The glorious privilege of being independent"--yes, Burns
understood the matter.  Go to the piano, dear, and play me
something.  If I don't mind, I shall fall into Whelpdale's vein,
and talk about my "blessedness".  Ha! isn't the world a glorious place?' 

'For rich people.' 

'Yes, for rich people.  How I pity the poor devils!--Play
anything.  Better still if you will sing, my nightingale!' 

So Amy first played and then sang, and Jasper lay back in dreamy bliss.
