Book Description
Excerpt from My Novel or Varieties in English Life, Vol. 2 But the next morning, when he heard his neighbour astir, he knocked gently at her door: there was no answer. He entered softly, and saw her seated very listlessly in the centre of the room as if it had no familiar nook or corner as the rooms of home have her hands drooping on her lap, and her eyes gazing desolately on the floor. Then he approached and spoke to her. Helen was very subdued, and very silent. Her tears seemed dried up; and it was long before she gave sign or token that she heeded him. At length, however, he gradually succeeded in rousing her interest and the first symptom of his success was in the quiver of her lip, and the overflow of her downcast eyes.
