Since you have invoked God to bless me, I will allow my departed Janalee to answer you through me, with her customary response: "He has, He does, and he will."
I already told you that I wanted to have likeable main characters. Let me add (in case you never saw my past entries to the same effect) that I have long been irritated by the idea that genuine love is actually based on the first observation that a person of the opposite sex looks good on the OUTSIDE. So, although making Sophia beautiful, I did NOT allow Duncan to take the mere sight of her as "proof" that they were "meant for each other." And for Sophia's part, you may already by now have seen her speech to Doctor and Mrs. Jerroll about why she loves Duncan. She loves him for his GOODNESS!!!!!!
