Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Cousin Veronica: Or Scenes and Adventures Over the Blue Ridge Oh! the little birds sang east, and the little birds sang west, Toll slowly! And I said in underbreath, "All our life is mixed with death, And who knoweth which is best?" Mrs. E. B. Brwning, Rhyme of the Duchess May. "Max, my boy," said Col. Mandeville, as the pony carriage, one English autumn evening, came round to the front door, "I am going to the coach office to meet our cousin Lomax. If you wrap yourself up warm, and are a good boy, I will take you." " ! papa, may not I go with you?" I cried. I was two years younger than my brother Max, and I think the favorite of our father. His courtesy to the sex extended itself even to a female child, and I often made use of his feelings upon this point to obtain little advantages over my brother. But this time he answered, "No my dear; cousin Lomax takes no interest in little girls. He does not want you, Molly, he wants Max. To-morrow morning after breakfast will be time enough for you." "Oh! but papa, I want to ride with you. I want to go with you. Do let me come too." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
