Excerpt from Descriptive of the Isle of Wight
Since that time, Agnes and her brother had lived quite alone with their grandfather, in the little cottage perched on the summit of a tall cliff overhanging the dark-blue sea. They were tolerably comfortable, and very cheerful and contented. At the period of which I write, Agnes was nearly twelve, and Robert only one year younger. Like all of us they had faults, but they earnestly endeavored to subdue them, which, alas! Is far from being the case with many who have, like them, been taught that all sin, even what we have perhaps allowed ourselves to look upon as very trivial in its nature, is yet grievous in the sight of a most holy God!
