Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eoline; Or Magnolia Vale; Or the Heiress of Glenmore "And now," said she, seating herself at the piano, and running over the keys with sparkling fingers, "now for your evening serenade, father." She began to warble with the sweetness and volubility of the mocking bird. "That is a new song I have just learned. Is it not charming?" "I am not in a musical vein to-night, Eoline." "Are you not? I am sorry, for I feel most particularly melodious. I am sorry, too, my harp is unstrung - that might please you better? (No.) Would you like the guitar? (No, again.) Well I will not plague you with music. But let me tell you the compliment that Mr. Leslie, the European traveller, paid me last evening. He said he wished I were the daughter of a poor man, so that I might be compelled to give my voice to the world; that nature never bestowed such a treasure for the benefit of the domestic and social circles alone. Think of that, father - a prima donna! Would it not be magnificent? Well, if your riches should take to themselves wings and fly away, I will turn my breath into gold for you and me." "There is not much danger of your being reduced to such an alternative," said Mr. Glenmore, "especially at the present moment." "You don´t feel musical to-night. Let me read to you; I have a very interesting book here, whose leaves I have just cut open." Rising from the revolving-stool, on which she had been making semi-circumvolutions, she opened a mahogany cabinet, inlaid with ivory, and took down a book, evidently fresh from the press. "Oh! how I love the fragrance of a new book!" she cried, unfolding it and burying her face within the leaves. "It is as sweet as a new-blown rose."
