Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Woman´s Love, Vol. 2: April, 1887 From the window of one of those suburban houses whose general air of dinginess and discomfort bespeak the regular lodging-house, two bright young faces were peering to watch for the postman, that daily messenger of good and ill to so many. "Here he comes!" cried Ada Darrance, excitedly. "Will he bring us a letter, and whom will it be from? No one writes to us now." "Except on disagreeable topics," her sister murmured. "I had the prettiest little scented billet yesterday, and it only contained an offer to send me a cure for the toothache in return for thirteen stamps! I could have cried with disappointment." "Hush! He is coming this way! A letter, mamma - a letter at last!" While Georgie Darrance, the youngest and most impulsive of the sisters, flew off to receive the welcome epistle, Ada, the other, moved to a sofa, on which a sallow, fretful-looking woman in widow´s weeds was reclining. As the young girl stooped down to pat the pillows, and coaxingly kiss the thin lips of the widow, her sweet, intelligent face looked fairer and brighter for the contrast it presented to her mother´s.
