Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dean's Daughter, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, the Days We Live In A friend, or sister more beloved; My playmate when we both were clothed alike. Coleridge. Of the nine thousand seven hundred and thirteen inhabitants of the cathedral town of R -, none perhaps was more popular than the Dean. The qualities which had won this universal affection were chiefly of a negative order. Early trouble and a natural deficiency of animal spirits, had endowed him with a serene gravity, highly becoming his vocation; and when, on rare occasions, he emerged from his stall to the pulpit, the spinster coteries of R -, subdued by the charm of his high bred deportment and attenuated features, regarded his grey head as that of a saint. The indolence which estranged him from their whist-tables, and the dyspepsia which enforced abstemiousness and sobriety, passed, somewhat gratuitously, at R - for Christian virtues.
