Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hannah "A strange, sad kind of letter," said Miss Thelluson to herself, as she refolded and replaced it in its envelope. She had a habit of always putting things back into their right places. "I suppose I ought to answer it at once. And yet - " She stopped; leaned her elbow on the table, her head upon her hand, and pressed down her eyelids. They were wet eyelids - though she was not exactly weeping - and tired eyes; for it was late at night, and she had had a hard day´s work, of teaching first, and private study, in order to teach, afterward; since, not being a brilliantly clever woman, it cost her some pains to keep up to the level of accomplishments required of a first-class governess in a "high" family. "High" though it was, an earl´s, indeed - and though the little Ladies Mary, Georgina, and Blanche, now safely asleep in their beds, were good, pleasant children, and very fond of their governess - still, as she sat in that homely furnished, dimly-lighted sitting-room, Hannah Thelluson looked a lonely kind of woman - not one of those likely to make many friends, or keep up a large correspondence. This letter, which seemed to affect her a good deal, was the only one which she had received for days past, and the servants had forgotten to bring it up until they brought her supper.
