Excerpt from Pequinillo, Vol. 1 of 3: In Three Volumes Now, the old woman declared that the child was the very model of his father; and his father was a young man of nearly six feet high. It must be admitted that the old lady's eyes were none of the-clearest; and, at the very moment when she sits before us, with the baby on her lap, she has got on her nose a pair of spectacles, which are none of the clearest either. However, She is engaged in acting up to her catechism, and doing her duty in that state of life unto which it has pleased God to call her.
