Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpse of the World ´Don´t, Juliet; just see what a stroke you have forced me to make; and I asked you to draw at the other table.´ ´And I told you I couldn´t see there. What does the stroke signify? Mr. Brownlow never scolds.´ ´But, Juliet, I must have it right; I can´t bear an untidy drawing.´ ´Then, if you please, Annette, it is time you should learn to bear it. There is Myra, who never finished a drawing decently in her life, and is quite happy without it.´ The assertion was made at random, at least if it was permitted to judge from Myra´s countenance. She was at that moment seated before a writing-desk, one hand supporting her head, the other playing idly with a pen, whilst her face was so expressive of anything but happiness, that even Annette forgot her annoyance at the false stroke, and joined in Juliet´s laugh at her sister´s despairing attitude, as she pored over her German exercise. ´I don´t see why you are to laugh,´ exclaimed Myra, and she turned round petulantly; ´you have neither of you begun German yet; when you have, see if you won´t feel just the same.´ ´It is not feeling, but looking,´ said Juliet. ´If I were going to be hung, I wouldn´t look so crestfallen.´ ´Wait till you are tried,´ was the retort, as Myra gave a push to her writing-desk, which nearly upset the ink. Juliet rushed to the rescue of the German exercise-book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
