Author Description

Excerpt from The Mother's Nosegay I am surprised that you should ask such a question, Caroline, said her eldest sister, whose name was Jane do not you see that there is an Open ing already made; and besides, where else could the arbour possibly open, but upon that beautiful, delicate, soft grass-plot, surrounded with rose bush es, and sheltered so delightfully by the shrubbery behind? Jane's father looked up in her face as she finished this long speech, and smiled. Caroline, however, did not wait to hear the conclusion of it; but turning to Barbara, she said, Bar bara, how very slow you are!
