A while back I made a post about the characters from Seventh Son - sorry to bring the topic up again. But I can't find a description in the book for Matilda, Beatrice, Elizabeth, or Mary Miller. I know that they were Alvin's sisters, but I have to use a quote with the page number, I can't say, "She was nice person..." etc. If anyone who has read the book more than once ( [Big Grin] ) recalls any descriptions for those four characters and would care to share them with me, I would be greatly obliged. Thank you [Wink]

Guess what -- you will be hard-pressed to find much physical description of ANY OSC characters in his books, much less minor characters. He just doesn't do that. His characters are not what they look like -- they are what they do.

Most of the information you'll find about those four (which ain't a heck of a lot) is near the beginning of chapter 7 -- pages 52 and forward in the copy I have handy (the $3.99 special edition paperback). And as the lovely Kristine has already indicated, aside from Matilda's backside being about as round as the moon, I'm not seeing physical descriptions.

Do you even necessarily mean physical descriptions, wieczorek? I didn't read your post that way...
