Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mrs. Pederson´s Niece Long ago I asked a young American girl what quality she most admired in her girl friends, and her prompt reply was: "Oh, courage! The courage that is never daunted by circumstances and that goes out to meet the disagreeables of life with flags flying and drums beating!" It is in the hope that this friend of my youth voiced the feelings of American girls of to-day, that I send this story of English girlhood across the Atlantic. Hilary and Frances and Ursula are types of girlhood neither rare nor idealized and nationality has little indeed to do with Hilary´s buoyancy and resourcefulness under adverse fortune, or with Ursula´s serenity and fixity of purpose, or with Frances Skone´s mistaken eagerness for success in the work she has chosen. For girls of all ages and nations my heart beats warmly; it touches me at all times, to watch them "Standing with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet."
