Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Peter Carradine: Or the Martindale Pastoral There was a great uproar in the red schoolhouse under the hill, whoso rod was swayed by Miss Miranda Roy. Every little tongue not paralyzed by fright was wagging, and every youthful brow discernible, for there was much hiding of faces among the boys, whose prudence exceeded their curiosity, and the girls, who were ashamed of their tears - every brow discernible, I say, was knit with displeasure or with rage, and a desire for vengeance was eminent. The weight of the teacher´s displeasure had fallen, this warm spring morning, on the shoulders of little Harry Johnson, who, after a violent struggle, had escaped from her hands, and now was flying up the hill, blazoned with fiery impressions - the herald of his own wrongs and humiliation. Having restored the school to something like order, the teacher continued her tasks. But, though she could secure quiet, she could not command feeling. Grief and indignation, and a desire to get out where they could express emotion without danger, all this might have been evident to Miranda had she looked with questioning along the rows of little faces. Her own face seemed, to the young eyes that secretly made their observations, quite awful in its rigidity, and never before did her voice sound so harsh. She would have the children of Martindale know who reigned in this school-room. But, secretly, she was very uneasy; not because she saw that she had been unjust. She remembered that little Harry Johnson had not merely run home to his father and mother. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
