Jul. 15, 2008 - Rosa Of Linden Castle ~ Chapters 7-9
I finally read the next three chapters in Rosa of Linden Castle. Three chapters is good I guess for a busy life. It is just enough to make reading it a treat.
The first thing that I noted was the way the small family lived. Oh, how I longed for a sweet and simple life like the one that Rosa had while she lived at the collier's. What a wholesome way to live.
Also, I noticed that the entire family showed deference to Rosa, remembering her position. Yet, she still willingly worked alongside the family, and learned so much from their ways.
The next thing that I noticed was that when Rosa arrived at Kunerick's Castle, she immediately befriended the stewards children. I was awed by the kindness and manner in which she treated them. I don't feel like I am very good with children, so "watching" Rosa was very interesting.
Finally, Rosa is such a hard worker! Even though she doesn't know how to do some of the things that are required of her, she is willing to learn. The other thing is that even though her mistress was always finding fault with her, Rosa bore it all in silence. What an example for me, who always thinks that I must keep a good name, and repair it where damage has been done. Next time, I should remember Rosa, and Jesus, and follow their example.
