But she has good traits. She is not unlike my own mother." George said nothing. God forbid that he should tell her, even by a look, that she and her mother were of a caste different from his own.

Speaking of the Cross of Christ, he says, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
