Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adelaide and Theodore, or Letters on Education, Vol. 3: Containing All the Principles Relative to Three Different Plans of Education; To That of Princes, and to Those of Young Persons of Both Sexes Oh! Mamma, let us keep her! She is so pretty, and looks so mild! - That is impossible! - But at least keep her here for some days - Well, I consent to that; and you, Adelaide, shall have the care of her; I have so many other employments... With all my heart... Mamma, she shall sleep in my chamber... Oh! the charming little creature! I will be her Governess!... I must talk to her in Italian. In short, as all this discourse had passed in French, the child did not understand one word of it. - Adelaide, embracing her tenderly, said, I am going to be your Mamma. - Shall I? At the word Mamma, the poor little thing wept bitterly, and cried, I have none! Adelaide fell on her neck, and, taking her in her arms, my Mamma will be yours, she said - The child then looked at me, her eyes still full of tears; is it true, said she, that I shall remain with you always?... She asked this question with so much simplicity, so tender an air, and sweet a tone of voice, that I felt it to the bottom of my heart - Yes, replied I, you shall never leave us. - These words made Adelaide as happy as the child, and more so, when I added, that I was really determined to keep her, because she appeared to be as sensible as she was pretty. - But, Mamma! said Adelaide, you have promised also, that I shall be her Governess - We shall see that, answered I, we will talk about it in the evening. - At half past eight, when the child was gone to bed, I had a long conversation on the subject with Adelaide.
