Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Barbadoes Girl Children are alike naturally curious and fond of society; the moment, therefore, Mr. Harewood had mentioned their expected guest, they had every one some question to put respecting her; but as Ellen´s was uttered with most mildness and modesty, she was first answered; and her brother Charles, taking this hint, listened quietly to the following conversation, not joining in it till he felt that he had a right to do so, from having practised a forbearance that cost him some effort. Ellen. - Pray, papa, what is this little girl´s name, and how old is she? Father. - She is called Matilda Sophia Hanson: her father was a man of good fortune, and she is an only child; I believe, however, his affairs are in an unsettled state, as his widow is under the necessity of remaining some time in the country, in order to settle them. It is at her earnest request that I have been prevailed upon to accept the charge of her daughter. I believe she is about a year younger than you; but as the growth of people in warm countries is more rapid than in this, I expect to see her quite as tall and forward as you, Ellen.
