Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Early Called: The Stoic, and the Lansbys of Lansby Hall The seal of death was there; and although on the first symptoms of disease Mrs. Arden had hurried with her darling to a softer climate, little hope had been held out to her that the change would lead to permanent recovery, for the seeds of the insidious malady had been a part of the orphans´ inheritance derived to them from both parents, who had fallen its victims within-two years of each other. The children had also inherited the marked and peculiar character of beauty which had distinguished their deceased mother - that fearful beauty - so touching! so unearthly! and yet, like rose? on a sepulchre, masking decay and death. With what unspeakable tenderness - what unremitting care, had their maternal guardian watched over the infancy and childhood of those two beautiful creatures, so endeared tenfold by their orphan state, and by the circumstances which made their hold on life so far more precarious than is even the common tenure of mortality. "They were such little angels!" she once said to me, when speaking of their bygone years - "when they knelt before me, side by side, with their little hands joined together, and their sweet eyes lifted up so reverently, and both young voices mingling into one silver sound, as they said their evening prayer! Oh, I have looked at them till my eyes were dim with tears, and I felt as if I must resign them - as if they had but to spread their wings, and finish in Heaven the last strains of their concluding hymn!"
