Book Description
Excerpt from Lenny, the Orphan, or Trials and Triumphs His eyes were wide open, and expressed terror and dismay; his face was singularly white and rigid for his age, and the fixed look it wore was painfully unnatural. Who is this little soul? Asked a stout good humored woman kindly, as she drew him towards some casks that were rolled on their sides against the wall, and lifted him up that she might look in his face. Lord bless the child she exclaimed, as she touched his flesh; he is stone cold, and white as a ghost; where's your mother, my pet? The child's face began to work as if with a spasm, and his breast heaved convulsively, but he made no sound.
