Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies for Stories Some years ago, while staying at the seaside, my parents renewed their acquaintance with some ladies, whom we will call the Misses Perkins. They were the daughters of a clergyman deceased, and had a slender competence, on which they not only kept up a creditable appearance, but were charitable and useful. It happened that, shortly before returning home, my parents remarked, in presence of these ladies, that they had intended to leave me behind for a time, because my health was delicate, but that some change of plan prevented the family with whom I was to have been domesticated from receiving me. Hereupon significant looks passed between the sisters, and the next day a note arrived, which set forth, that though the Misses Perkins were not in the habit of receiving boarders, - far from it, - yet on this occasion they should be happy to step out of their usual path, and accommodate the daughter of their old friend. Accordingly, I was sent to their house, and the ladies - that is, some of them - took care that I should derive all the benefit that care and kindness could secure to me.
