Sinópse: Excerpt from A Northern Lily, Vol. 3: Five Years of an Uneventful Life Elsie had been a woman of her own age. She traced the whole course of David’s childhood and youth from the day of his birth, dwelling more partlcularly on the time when he first began to walk, ‘when every one who came to the house admired him, ‘ and she showed Elsie a collection of little soft curls of hair, cut from her children’s heads at various stages of their life. Then David’s schoolboy letters were brought out, and dwelt upon one by one; most of those he had written latterly she had not kept, which she regretted now with tears. Some times, but rarely, she had fits of remorse, when she said she had been unjust to David, and which it required all Elsie’s skill to soothe; but it made her almost happy again to hear how her boy had loved and admired her, and how often he had spoken to Elsie of his mother.
