Excerpt from The Forget-Me-Not, for All Seasons

Do not fear, Albert, replied the lady, as she took from her bosom a jewelled watch; it is but just nine o'clock, and they tell me that the wharf is very near. My motive for stopping here is not altogether selfish; for I want some books for both of us to read on the voyage, and though I have unwisely put it off until the last minute, I possibly may find something even here.

The invalid's eyes grew bright, for an instant, as the lady spoke, and he, as usual, let her have her own way, gazing proudly on the rich beauty and noble air of his lovely wife, and then sinking back into the carriage with a sigh of regret and a troubled look at the prospect of his early death.

At the door of the humble book-store stood a girl about ten years old, who had a weak-looking child in her arms, and the lady paused as she encountered her. The girl's countenance was one of peculiar loveliness, and the clear hazel of her eye was uplifted to the stranger's face.
