Martin Rattler by Robert Michael Ballantyne is a novella Published in 1858. Martin and Barney are firm Christians; however, this does not show up very frequently in the book. Martin Rattler was a very bad boy. At least his aunt, Mrs Dorothy Grumbit, said so. The vicar said that the child was full of mischief but he would improve as he grew older, he was quite certain of that. The doctor said that Martin was a scamp with a very powerful hatred. Men laughed when they said he was a bad boy, as if they did not quite believe their own assertion. And yet Martin had not the appearance of a scamp. He had fat rosy cheeks, a round rosy mouth, a straight delicately-formed nose, a firm massive chin, and a broad forehead. But the latter was seldom visible, owing to the thickly-clustering fair curls that overhung it. When asleep Martin’s face was the perfection of gentle innocence. But the instant he opened his dark-brown eyes, a thousand dimples and wrinkles played over his visage, chiefly at the corners of his mouth and round his eyes; as if the spirit of fun and the spirit of mischief had got entire possession of the boy, and were determined to make the most of him. When deeply interested in anything, Martin was as grave and serious as a philosopher.
