Edward resembled his father more than any of the other children.

He was cold and calm in his temperament, and little inclined to be drawn aside by the restless, vagrant spirits that were ever luring Andrew from the strict line laid down for him by his father.

Daily perceiving the great value attached by his father to external propriety of conduct, Edward made a merit of what to him was easy.

This vexed Andrew, who had opportunities for knowing all about the worth of Edward's apparent excellencies, and he sneeringly applied to him the epithet of "Saint," which was the cause of his drawing down upon himself, in more than one instance, the displeasure of his father.

But he had become so used to censure and reproof, that it had little influence over him.
