Spurning other offers (according to the rector, though one does rather wonder how any suitor could have felt equal to such virtue), she became a ‘spouse of God’. It is probably true, however, that her conversation was ‘amiable, pleasant and Venerable to all her Equals and Inferiors’ and that she possessed

a winning and obliging way or disposition, that sweetly scatters favours . . . By this . . . a desire of doing good to all, even to our very enemies, we attract friendships and make friends even of those that hate us . . .

When she bestowed any favour, or gave Alms, she gave it cheerfully without grudging . . . She had a great command over her Tongue and Passions . . . Her ears were ever open to the complaints of the poor, but shut against all calumny and Detraction.
