Bird.
Occasional visits to their cousins, the Cayleys, a family which for many generations has borne, and still bears, a stamp of much talent and originality, seem to have been the only opportunities either for cultivation of intellect or development of character afforded to them ; and yet, by the time when an increase of income, consequent on the uncle's death, enabled them to make a tour on the Continent, they were not only sufficiently well-informed to enjoy fully all the novelties and assoc...iations of travel, but so distinguished by their manners and conversation, combined with much personal beauty, that they were at once admitted to the best company, wherever they might find themselves, and laid the foun- dation of the social popularity they were destined Hosted by Google THE BERRYS. 157 to enjoy so long. A sufficient command of the Latin classics to give a scholarly turn to their knowledge, without a taint of pedantry; a familiarity with the French tongue, which throughout life made the society of foreigners as easy to them as that of their countrymen ; a thorough understanding of their own language and literature, as exhibited in its best and purest models, which shone in all their conver- sation, and enabled them in mature years to ex- press themselves on paper in a forcible, judicious, and graceful style ; an adequate study of the prin- ciples of Art, combined with a fair facility of practice — these were the results of the self-culture which the Misses Berry acquired in a remote provincial home, and which they might well have regarded through the long vista of years, not with the bitter remembrances of toil, effort, and privation, but with a legitimate pride in the conquests of talents and will over adverse fortunes, and with a grateful consciousness of the mental faculties that could do so much for themselves, and needed so little obli- gation to others.
