From the library

Tan extremado encogimiento costóme no pocos castigos y reprimendas, pues mi progenitor juzgaba, con harta razón, que semejante repugnancia hacia el trato de gentes, no podía menos de retardar mi evolución mental, originando además rudeza de modales y esquivez y extravagancia de carácter.
