A short story about moral purity that begins when Beth, a young girl of twelve, is handed her baby brother and told that she will need to be "both a mother and sister to him". The story doesn't give details, but apparently Beth and her brother Floyd were orphans. The story fast-forwards 17 years to when Floyd is about to leave for college when one of Floyd's young friends stops by and Beth overhears Floyd speaking of girls in a course and unseemly manner. Two girls then join the party and Beth observes the young couples behaving in a loose and familiar manner. The rest of the story tells how Beth managed to deter things from progressing further, and the touching conversation she has with her brother on how he ought to behave with a girl. Beth tells Floyd an analogy of an unblemished rose, and in the course of the conversation, finally reaches her brother's heart. The book ends with Floyd quoting from Sir Galahad: "My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure". The principles in this book, which may be considered strait-laced by many, are nonetheless much-needed in our world today. Though short, this charming tale of the rose provides an opportunity to share with one's own children or friends the beauty of avoiding rank language about the opposite sex and waiting for commitment before indulging in petting and intercourse. For young men and young ladies alike.
