Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jane Welsh Carlyle and Elizabeth Newton Paulet: This Book Is Inscribed "Ah well, young lady, it is as well you should he prepared for the worst; your mother will never he herself again, in my opinion; she seems quite weak in her intellect, and if you have any friends, you had better communicate with them, for you are too young to be left with such a charge. Just now she is overcome with fatigue and excitement, but she is in no sort of danger. I will see her again to-night, and send her a little medicine, which you must give her regularly. Let her sleep as much as she will, and keep her quiet. Good morning to you." As the door closed after him, the child sank on her knees beside the bed, sick with fear. A horrible future had just disclosed itself to her - her girlhood was strangled by this sudden fearful anxiety, and the life curdled in her heart. All that had struck her as strange in her mother´s conduct, and which she had forborne to question; attributing it to sorrow, was now revealed in its full significance. All the complaints she had uttered about being watched by enemies, and which had excited her daughter´s sympathy, now seemed a horrible confirmation of her fears; and when she recollected all her mother had that morning told her of the vague motives which had brought them from home, and thought of the slender means that remained to them, her heart trembled and died within her. She sat thus overwhelmed for several hours, during which she became laden with as many years. At length, the heavy necessity which had at first stunned her, acted as a stimulus; besides, in the deepest sorrow there is always a reaction towards hope. People who are called to suffer much have always great elasticity of heart, for without that it must give way and break. "After all," thought she, "the person named in the address may live near here, and may help us. Any way, he will put us into the way of getting home, and once there I can work." Her nature began to recover from the despondency in which she had well nigh been overwhelmed. She began to rise to the surface of her sorrow, instead of being plunged, like lead, beneath it. Chapter II. It was assize time, and the town of I. - was filled with an inroad of visitors, witnesses, and barristers; every inn was occupied, and more than occupied; and very fastidious people at other times were now glad to find accommodation in very second-rate places.
