Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shepherd of the Pyrenees So that strangers were often brought by their proud parents, and by the dependents of the family, to contemplate the beauties of these little fair ones. As they advanced in age, their beauty increased, and they seemed to possess every thing amiable or desirable which has been left in the ruin of fallen man. Theophilus had strong feelings, great natural courage, quickness of comprehension, an excellent memory, much gayety and wit, and a graceful and dignified mien. He possessed with these qualities a great deal of pride, which raised him above what he considered to be a mean action, and made him feel with keenness what he conceived to be an affront. Sophia partook much of her brother's disposition: but whereas pride and independence were fostered in him, she was taught that delicacy and submission were desirable qualities in a woman. She was kept in much retirement, and taught to conceal her feelings, and to consider her brother as the person on whom she must depend in case of her fathers death. Theophilus and Sophia, as they grew up, were much admired by the. World, and looked up to by all around them; nevertheless, they bad not one Christian grace.
