Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wife´s Messengers Mrs. Hamilton was a widow lady of wealth, fine person and prepossessing manners. She was dignified, without pride, and still young-looking, although for many years she had been left with the sole care of her two children and a large establishment. Her hair was still dark and glossy, her eye bright and her smile cheerful; which left no impression upon the minds of her admirers of a sad widowhood or years of lonely responsibility. She had kept herself young by making herself the companion and confidant of her children; and so old age really jogged her elbow with a rheumatic twinge before she was aware that it had been for some time stealthily approaching. She had won a host of friends by her neighborly kindnesses, and she was the idol of her own family; consistent in all the duties of home, she was at the same time faithful to the duties of society; both motherly and fashionable, she could unbend to a dance with her children while their governess played for them, and could "receive," with elegance, as the owner of a large estate, the thousand friends who did not all love her for herself alone.
