Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rosamond, Vol. 1 of 1: With Other Tales Rosamond, a little girl of about seven years old, was walking with her mother in the streets of London. As she passed along, she looked in at the windows of several shops, and she saw a great variety of different sorts of things, of which she did not know the use, or even the names. She wished to stop to look at them: but there were a great number of people in the streets, and a great many carts, and carriages, and wheelbarrows, and she was afraid to let go her mother´s hand. "O mother, how happy I should be," said she, as she passed a toyshop, "if I had all these pretty things." "What, all! Do you wish for them all, Rosamond?" "Yes, mamma, all." As she spoke they came to a milliner´s shop; the windows were hung with ribands, and lace, and festoons of artificial flowers. "O mamma, what beautiful roses! won´t you buy some of them?" "No, my dear." "Why?" "Because I don´t want them, my dear." They went a little farther, and they came to another shop which caught Rosamond´s eye. It was a jeweller´s shop; and there were a great many pretty bawbles, ranged in drawers behind glass. "Mamma, you´ll buy some of these?" "Which of them, Rosamond" "Which? I don´t know which; but any of them, for they are all pretty." "Yes, they are all pretty; but what use would they be of to me?" "Use! Oh, I´m sure you could find some use or other, if you would only buy them first." "But I would rather find out the use first." "Well, then, mamma, there are buckles: you know buckles are useful things, very useful things." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
