Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aunt Serena But not the most thrilling vision of a child-devouring, flame-snorting monster could ever produce, in the hearts of these loving, lawless comrades, such agonies of horror and despair as the thought of a certain pale, still, remorseless woman, stitching in her low chair by the sunny window of the Den. During the seventeen years of Rose´s existence, she had been summoned with lamentable frequency before this dread tribunal, and had listened to reprimand, exhortation, and warning, all of a somewhat scathing nature, in precisely the position in which she found herself to-day. She had indeed accepted these oft-recurring scenes more or less as a matter of course, like thunder-storms and wintry winds and other natural phenomena which could temporarily interfere with her childish pleasures, but which were, upon the whole, not fatal. To-day there was a change. The same clock ticked in the impressive silence which always preceded Miss Weatherstone´s orations ;the same portrait of grandmamma Weatherstone, in severest profile, hung on the wall. But still, there was a change, Rose thought. She did not seek to define it. She felt it simply. She was older. The early summer had come full of beauty and promise unspeakable, and in her warm young heart found full response.
