Every man there perceived the girl's divine purity of purpose.

She was stainless as a summer cloud--a passionless, serene child, with the religious impulse strong within her.
She could not have been more than seventeen years of age, and yet so dignified and composed was her attitude she seemed a mature woman.

She was not large, but she was by no means slight, and though colorless, her pallor was not that of ill health.
Her body resembled that of a sturdy child, straight in the back, wide in the waist, and meager of bosom.
Her voice and her eyes subdued the beast in the men.

An indefinable personal quality ran through her utterance, a sadness, a sympathy, and an intuitive comprehension of the sin of the world unusual in one so young.

She had been carefully reared: that was evident in every gesture and utterance.
