Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sister Jane Her Friends and Acquaintances: A Narrative of Certain Events and Episodes Transcribed From the Papers of the Late William Wornum A Quiet place and the quietest spot in the quiet place - these were my delight as soon as I discovered that life had no great honors in store for me. And this discovery was made early. There was plenty of ambition to urge me on, but the ends it aimed at were vague and shadowy. I would be a noted physician, a great lawyer, or a renowned statesman; I would be a writer of books, an explorer, a famous soldier. ´T was all a passing fancy - a dream to breed pleasant recollections instead of useless regrets. If opportunity came, I knew it now; it made no noise at my door; there was no fluttering of wings at my window. No matter in what direction vague desires carried my feet, in the end I always sighed for the quiet little side porch, shaded by a honeysuckle vine, or for the snug little room behind the porch where so many years of my life had been spent.
