She also gave him over-copiously and over-early of her simple, fervent, vague Theology, and much Old and New Testament History, with the highest and noblest intentions and succeeded in implanting a deep distrust and dislike of "God" in his acutely intelligent mind. She filled his soul with questionings and his mouth with questions which she could not answer, and which he answered for himself.

Character and capacity are really formed in those early years.
"It means that yonder varlet will not leave Natchez to-morrow until late evening, after the wires are in from the northern ball games," I replied. "Of course he'll stop there next."
