It seems his masters and in particular Father Scati were also happy with his good sense, for he was admitted to first communion before the age of ten.

Some of these could have been written by Eugene (as in the \u201c<em>Diary of the Youth Congregation\u201d<\/em> he writes in the third person). Other parts were written by Father Achille Rey, who knew Eugene and his mother well and would have been reporting what he learnt directly from them.
