Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thrown on the World or the Discarded Wife She rose from her seat and went to the window. No fairer scene than that on which she gazed ever met human eye. The grand Scotch lakes in the distance, and the heather-crowned hills stretching down to them; a large, old-fashioned garden led to the meadows, and the meadows sloped to the borders of the lake. It was in the month of June, and the sun shone upon the blue waters, the heather, and the flowers. The breath of the rose and the lily floated toward her; among all the the flowers blooming in the garden, there was not one so fair as the young face gazing over them. "It is strange he does not come," she said. Just then, from among the roses, came a young girl, holding a lovely, princely baby in her arms. "Bring the baby to me," said Mrs. Rymer. She took the child in her arms, kissed the little velvet cheek, caressed the little golden head, talked to him in that sweet language only known to mothers and children. "Where is papa, baby? she said; and the child raised his large, dark eyes to hers. Her heart grew warm within her as she looked at him. Ah! please Heaven, what a grand, noble man he would be in the years to come, but never so noble as his father, Alric Rymer. Earth did not hold his equal. Then nurse and baby went away. Over the lake came the sound of the chimes half-past seven. There was Hannah, looking very cross, with an appearance of great meekness. "Would you be so kind as to tell me what I am to do with this dinner? she said. Mrs. Rymer went back into the room; the scent of the roses and lilies followed her. The room was the very picture of comfort, prettily furnished with flowers and books, the dinner-table bright with its choice linen and delicate silver. There was her husbands chair ready for him; everything that he could desire or wish, prepared with loving hands and loving thought. He had left home at three, telling her he was going to Brae on some business. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
