Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Stiff-Necked Generation "Is there in the world so inconsistent a creature? Is she not capricious, teasing, tyrannical, obstinate, perverse, absurd? Ay, a wilderness of faults and follies; her looks are scorn, and her very smiles - ah me! I wish I hadn´t mentioned her smiles." - Sheridan. Rosamund was just eighteen, and no one could have done more justice to that charming age. It was not only that her eye was the brightest and her step the lightest in the world; it was that the dark eye could flash, and the little foot could stamp, and that, - but the whole may be summed up in one brief word: Rosamund, while retaining many an enchanting trait that was all her own, had, somehow or other, contrived to borrow here and there an imposing quality from a terribly imposing mother. Of this more anon; for the present, suffice it to say that my heroine was young, warm, and still sprouting upwards as fast as a springing sapling. To the end of her finger-tips she was glowing with vigorous life. Of a morning she awoke like a giant refreshed, armed at all points for whatever the day might bring forth. If well met and kindly treated by fortune, there she was; if not - why, there also; very much, indeed, there, heedless of consequences, and defiant of the future. Evils troubled her much, but not long. Afflictions in the shape of restraint and rule were grievous, but not despicable; and action in any form. ow of pure, untempered delight.
