Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thirty Hours for Three Thousand Years: Or Heresy Planets Ordinary sitting room, a bed in it. Mabel in a rocker takes a newspaper from the table. Mabel. - At last I can have a few moments for thinking and reading, I cannot imagine how other girls lounge idly about completely neglecting their house duties. Why, an orderly girl must always be on the alert. I´d never allow my poor mother to burden herself with the work that I am able to do. Oh! how sincerely I pity Maggie´s mother, who allows her daughter to act as she pleases, attending, in her old age even to their support. But the poor old lady will not be spared much longer; ah, then Maggie will find something better to do than read novels or ride down town to meet her admirers. Even if Henry should marry her, it will little improve her condition as he needs his salary for himself. Alas! she is too young to reason for herself, and will not listen to my well-meant advise. Salaries are indeed very low, and married women must in some way contribute towards the support of the house while unmarried ones have to battle for themselves. Foolish are but the girls who encourage or marry men who pass most of their leisure time in saloons, and they have but themselves to blame when they find out too late their life´s greatest mistake. For my part, I shall be most careful in this respect, and Albert will find it very hard to convince me that he is becoming a better man, besides, he is unable to keep a steady position. I feel sorry for him; but at the same time I would not sacrifice myself without doing a particle of good to either of us. (Draws a sigh) On the other hand, his cousin is a steady worker and very economical, but he has an awful temper. No woman could stand it for any length of time; and I fear serious trouble will some day be the result of his extreme excitability. Oh! how I do hate fighters, drunkards, gamblers, and the like. Yet, how few are entirely free from such grave faults. The world seems now-a-days all wrong; I wonder if it will continue growing steadily worse, or my after all some great crisis come wringing changes, for the better and cause people to change their morals and customs.
