Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Daisy Chain: Or Aspirations, a Family Chronicle Miss Winter, are you busy? Do you want this afternoon? Can you take a good long walk?´ ´Ethel, my dear, how often have I told you of your impetuosity - you have forgotten.´ ´Very well´ - with an impatient twist - ´I beg your pardon. Good morning, Miss Winter,´ said a thin, lank, angular, sallow girl, just fifteen, trembling from head to foot with restrained eagerness, as she tried to curb her tone into the requisite civility. ´Good morning, Ethel, good morning, Flora,´ said the prim, middle-aged, daily governess, taking off her bonnet, and arranging the stiff little rolls of curl at the long, narrow looking-glass, the border of which distorted the countenance. ´Good morning,´ properly responded Flora, a pretty, fair girl, nearly two years older than her sister. ´Will you -´ began to burst from Etheldred´s lips again, but was stifled by Miss Winter´s inquiry, ´Is your mamma pretty well to-day?´ ´Oh! very well,´ said both at once; ´she is coming to the reading.´ And Flora added, ´Papa is going to drive her out to-day. ´I am very glad. And the baby?´ ´I do believe she does it on purpose!´ whispered Ethel to herself, wriggling fearfully on the wide window-seat on which she had precipitated herself, and kicking at the bar of the table, by which manifestation she of course succeeded in deferring her hopes, by a reproof which caused her to draw herself into a rigid, melancholy attitude, a sort of penance of decorum, but a rapid motion of the eyelids, a tendency to crack the joints of the fingers, and an unquietness at the ends of her shoes, betraying the restlessness of the digits therein contained.
