Before long it became evident that Albert was a model lad. Intelligent and painstaking, he had been touched by the moral earnestness of his generation; at the age of eleven he surprised his father by telling him that he hoped to make himself "a good and useful man." And yet he was not over-serious; though, perhaps, he had little humour, he was full of fun—of practical jokes and mimicry. He was no milksop; he rode, and shot, and fenced; above all did he delight in being out of doors, and never was he happier than in his long rambles with his brother through the wild country round his beloved Rosenau—stalking the deer, admiring the scenery, and returning laden with specimens for his natural history collection. He was, besides, passionately fond of music. In one particular it was observed that he did not take after his father: owing either to his peculiar upbringing or to a more fundamental idiosyncrasy he had a marked distaste for the opposite sex.
What effect is accomplished by the author's choice to list off Albert's characteristics in the manner he does here?
A) It lets us see Albert as a generally likable lad, if one with certain implied quirks.
B) It makes it known that Albert is a dubious customer, who altogether does not mean well.
C) It causes us to acknowledge that Albert and Victoria are likely to enjoy a happy marriage.
D) It prompts us to wonder if Albert really is as obnoxious as it seems to be.
