Marianne Minton sat silently at the dinner table, covertly studying her guest. Samuel Bowen the town lawyer. She noted that he had an
unending supply of anecdotes that he was all too willing to share. Despite Marianne's opinion, her mother was not immune to his charm and, when
dessert was served, she placed the largest portion of blackberry cobbler in front of Mr. Bowen. Marianne caught the eye of her young brother Rob
and witnessed his pained expression, for Rob loved blackberry cobbler above all things.
Samuel Bowen caught the swift interchange between the brother and sister and, being a nimble-witted man, had no trouble interpreting it.
Declaring himself already full to the brim, he picked up his dish of cobbler and placed it in front of Rob, who brightened immediately. Marianne's
expression amused Sam, for he knew that she understood she had lost her only ally at the table.
Mr. Minton noted it too, and chuckled to himself. He loved his daughter dearly, but he recognized that she was impatient demanding, and
utterly transparent her thoughts were always immediately visible on her expressive face. He regretted the fact that she hadn't taken to Sam Bowen
immediately, but he wasn't particularly surprised, either. Both of them liked to hold the floor and yielded that position reluctantly: still, he was
hopeful that if he continued inviting Sam to dinner, Marianne would begin to recognize some of his finer qualities, for he wouldn't at all mind having
a lawyer in the family.
How does the information revealed through Mr. Minton's perspective affect the story?
O 1. It provides evidence of Samuel Bowen's charm.
02. It provides a description of his son's personality
O 3. It indicates the reason for Samuel Bowen's presence.
04. It indicates his acceptance of his daughter's dislike of their guest.
