Her speech is highly cultured.

Her manners are perfect, and that is a big and unusual thing in a girl of her age.
Every word she said, every move she made to-day, was exactly as I would have been proud to hear, and to see a daughter of mine speak and move.
If I had only myself to consider, I would make her my friend, because I'm seasoned in the ways of the world, and she could influence me only as I chose to allow her.

With you youngsters it is different.

You'll find her captivating, and you may let her ways sway you without even knowing it.

All these outward things are not essential; they are pleasing, I grant, but they have nothing to do with the one big, elemental fact that a Godless life is not even half a life.
