Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Favourite of Nature, Vol. 1 of 3 The darling of her aged relative, Eliza, had resided with her two years, doing what she' pleased, uncontrolled and unadvisedi; for, added to the indo lence ot'age, Mrs. Rivers was of a timid, retiring temper, unequal in every te spect to oppose the impetuosity of Eliza's character with the firm and skilful ma nagement it required. Trite and homely observations upon the necessity of sub duing our passions, and conquering our corrupt inclinations, were occasionally introduced; but the poor lady found them of such little use, that she only con tinued to propose them, to satisfy herself that, if Eliza did wrong, it was not for want of being told what was right.
