Perfect Example of Humility

Golden Mean of Humility: The quality or condition of being humble, modest in opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc.

The Merchant's Daughter, by Melanie Dickerson
I had found the perfect paragraph that explains humility of Annabel's personality. Lord Ranulf had taken notice of it, and here's a bit of it from the story:

Ranulf hated to think it, but the maiden haunted him too, and he of all people should know better. Her perfect features, her beautiful blue eyes, and her blond hair waving about her shoulders... but it was her kindness to others, her quiet nature and the way she preformed her duties with meekness and without ceremony that had caught his attention. Page 85, paragraph 3.

This is an example of one of my virtue tracking findings I had found in "The Merchant's Daughter". Annabel Chapman is a girl who shows pure humility in all that she does. Many people notice her humility, but use her humbleness as an easy target for harm towards her. She still presses on though, believing that God will provide a way for her to get through the struggles she goes through each day. Some other people also see her humbleness, but see how innocent she is, and the help she needs. The only few people who see this is the Mistress she works with in the kitchen, and her village's lord she's a servant for, Lord Ranulf le Wyse.
