Book Description
Excerpt from Nelly Carew, Vol. 2 of 2 And so she gained her point. She never tried one that it was not really desirable, and for the general comfort or advantage to gain, and then she commonly did so by yielding at first to her father's will, and then gently and coaxingly bring ing in her own; or, as her own, that of those in whose behalf she pleaded. Next day Nelly was paraded through the house by her father-in-law, and while doing justice by her expressions of admiration to all its splen dour, her own tact, much more than the injune tions of her husband, induced her not to testify too demonstratively to Mr. Carew the feelings of wonder - almost bewilderment - with which its extent and magnificence inspired her. To Mag gie she felt she might do so without hesitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Nelly Brooke, Vol. 3 of 3: A Homely Story It was his nature to cherish resentment even to malice, but he shewed his policy in this particular by only oppressing such as were weaker than himself. Like his sister, he was no real friend to animals, or children, or even women, except where his own advancement or gratification was concerned. He could be bland and gentle in the extreme, with a Mrs. Filmer, or a Mrs. Brooke, however annoyed he might feel at being called up in the middle of the night because either of them fancied she had a pain in her little finger but he could Speak harshly to a dying woman or child, for whose sake he had been troubled in like manner to inhale the unpleasant fumes of an ill-ventilated cottage.

Excerpt from Poor Nellie, Vol. 1 of 3 Elizabeth did not mean Octavius to be always a mere parish rector, for she knew he was clever, and often said, I never would have married a poor clergyman who was simply good and handsome, for I am quite aware a man must have brains if he has not money. As the Dowager had foreseen, Elizabeth meant Octavius to be a bishop some day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Poor Nellie, Vol. 3 of 3 Nellie missed a mail before she answered this letter; but she was always unsatisfactory about catching the mails, and, of late especially, her letters had come very irregularly. The letter she finally did write would, I think, have seemed rather a disappointing one to most husbands with a heart as full of warm love as Charlie's was for her. So little changed was he by those five long years of absence and some time of danger, that it seemed to him as if it were only yesterday that he had been with his wife, and heard her voice, and seen her sweet face; only yesterday he had said good - bye to her, and felt so moved by her beauty that to think of it moved him still, - for her pathetic beauty had touched him more in tears and sorrow even than in joy. He remembered her pain at parting from him, her wish to go with him, as we remember that which is very near to the present hour. The love she had shown him, surpassing far her love for her child, had stilled the grief of parting to him, and made what was deep sorrow at the moment feel afterwards like a sort of rapt and sacred joy. There is one kind of love which has a very holy spirit in it. Like a guardian angel of all that is noblest in the soul, that holiness can go with a man unchanged, unspotted over the whole world.

Excerpt from Nelly Armstrong, Vol. 2 of 2: A Story of the Day She had been obliged to resist her parents' desire that she should return to them in November. Cruel and heartless they thought her, for she knew that her mother's health was failing, and that she was rapidly losing her eyesight. But still they never suspected the truth; her love of gaiety and fine things, they supposed was what detained her in town. Neglected by their child, wounded in their feelings, they discontinued for some time their correspondence with her. It was a relief to Nelly, who trembled whenever she received a letter. But her consciousness of what they must think of her want of duty added to the weight on her spirits. My punishment is greater than I can bear, was now Often the cry of her heart.

Book Description
Excerpt from Poor Nelli, Vol. 2 of 3 Since the wee fairy of awaking love had crept into Adela's young heart, that fairy had never slept again; for when does. A fairy really sleep? Rather dull and placid as Adela still might seem, yet having that little fairy nestled in one corner of her heart, she would have liked George often to say tender things to her. The murmur of the pretty secret he had once breathed into her ear had never quite died there. It was like that secret which must have been whispered over the trees in Eden: you hear the pleasant sound of it still lingering amongst the moving boughs in every wood on earth, - for there is a breath of joy which does not die away. Though Adela would have liked best to be alone with George, she minded having Nellie less than any one else. Sylvia's perpetual observation and curiosity would have been intolerable. Adela was grateful to Miss Smith for not letting Sylvia be much with her and George. The truth is, the governess thought Miss Sylvia quite capable of flirting with George on her own account, right over Adela's head as it were while knowing that Nellie was in love with Charles Crofton, she considered it quite safe for her to be long hours on the lake with George and Adela. And Nellie was so fond of boating, it would have been hard in any case to refuse her strong wish. She had been so apathetic even towards all pleasure of late, seeming to care for' nothing, and liking best to be allowed to stay quietly indoors when everybody else went out; and she looked so pale and listless, and in such low spirits, that Miss Smith was getting rather alarmed, and felt very glad to see her show some little eager ness of desire about anything, no matter what.
