Very rarely are we proud of the fill-in personality that replaced our old being and we look at it with discontent and hatred almost when we should really see it as progress, either good or bad.

From its architectural majesty to the graveyard of Barrister ancestors, she felt an exhilarating sense of pride and satisfaction that she, the governess for young Edward, had risen almost immediately to run the massive estate.
