Book Description
Excerpt from Record of a Girlhood, Vol. 3 of 3 In the evening went with my mother to a party at old Lady Cork's. We started for our assembly within a few minutes of Sunday morning. Such rooms - such ovens! Such boxes full of fine folks and foul air! In which we stood and sat, and looked and listened, and talked nonsense and heard it talked, and perspired and smothered and suffocated. On our arrival, as I was going upstairs, I was nearly squeezed at against the wall by her potent grace, the Duchess of St. Albans. We remained half an hour in the steaming atmosphere of the drawing rooms, and another half-hour in the freezing hall before the carriage could be brought up; caught a dreadful cold and came home; did not get to bed till two o'clock, with an intolerable face-ache and tooth ache, the well-earned reward of a well-spent evening.

Excerpt from Record of a Girlhood, Vol. 1 of 3 Not long after his marriage my grandfather went to Vienna, where, on the anniversary of the birth of the great empress-king, my mother was born, and named, after her, Maria Theresa. In Vienna, Captain Decamp made the acquaintance of a young English nobleman, Lord Monson (afterwards the Earl of Essex), who, with an enthusiasm more friendly than wise, eagerly urged the accomplished Frenchman to come and settle in London, where his talents as a draughtsman and musician, which were much above those of a mere amateur, combined with the protection of such friends as he could not fail to find, would easily enable him to maintain himself and his young wife and child.

Excerpt from Record of a Girlhood, Vol. 2 of 3 The early death of Arthur Hallam, and the imperish able monument of love raised by Tennyson's genius to his memory, have tended to give him a pre-eminence among the companions of his youth which I do not think his abilities would have won for him had he lived; though they were undoubtedly of a high order. There was a gentleness and purity almost virginal in his voice, manner, and countenance; and the upper part of his face, his forehead and eyes (perhaps in readiness for his early translation), wore the angelic radiance that they still must wear in heaven. Some time or other, at some rare moments of the divine Spirit's supremacy in our souls, we all put on the heavenly face that will be ours hereafter, and for a brief lightning space our friends behold us as we shall look when this mortal has put on immortality. On Arthur Hallam's brow and eyes this heavenly light, so fugitive on other human faces, rested habitually, as if he was thinking and seeing in heaven.

Book Description
Excerpt from Records of a Girlhood I have come to the garrulous time of life - to the remember ing days, which only by a little precede the forgetting ones._ I have much leisure, and feel sure that it will amuse me to write my own reminiscences perhaps reading them may amuse others who have no more to do than I have. To the idle, then, I offer these lightest of leaves gathered in the idle end of autumn days, which have succeeded years of labor often severe and sad enough, though its ostensible purpose was only that of affording recreation to the public.

Excerpt from Maidenhood, Vol. 3 of 3 On the morrow Sir Hildebrand told Miss Barrymore he would not require her attendance in his drive. She knew what that meant. She knew he would drive to the Abbey, see Mr. Hamilton and report progress; give him permission to come and go in and out of Heraldstowe when he pleased! Miss Barrymore sighed as Sir Hildebrand drove away. "I am sure I do not like my position at all. And as for receiving Mr. Hamilton, just when he pleases to make his appearance, it is beyond my powers of - of courtesy. I cannot even find a copy of 'Sir Charles Grandison' to help me in this dilemma; for, joking apart, I think it might give me some useful hints. However, I will have a gallop across country, and perhaps call on one or two by the way. It would be no bad move to invite a friend to Heraldstowe. At this particular time, and with the dread of Mr. Hamilton at any unexpected minute, a friend by my side would be all in all to me, and, of course, very welcome to him! What a bright thought!" Miss Barrymore laughed as she added, "and I will act upon it!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As for Mrs Bracken burn, she had been dutifully reading Hallam's Middle Ages, ' with a view to improve her mind, but idle fancies having come between her and The condition of the ceorls, ' she had closed her book now. It was nearly time for the postman's evening call, and she, possess ing her soul in patience, was awaiting that event. But the letter by-and-by brought to her was not the letter for which she was aweary, neither did it at all stand in the stead of that. She frowned over it, threw it from her discontentedly, then got up and went to the side of Ursula, saying.
