Book Description

Excerpt from Northwode Priory, Vol. 2 "Hope on, hope ever! though to-day be dark, The sweet sunburst may smile on thee to-morrow: Though thou art lonely, there's an eye will mark Thy loneliness, and guerdon all thy sorrow! Though thou must toil 'mong cold and sordid men, With none to echo back thy thought, or love thee, Cheer up, poor heart! thou dost not beat in vain, For God is over all, and Heaven above thee - Hope on, hope ever." Gerald Massey. It was a bright, cold, frosty day on which Judith arrayed Mabel to go down stairs for the first time. Though still pale and fragile, she appeared less like an invalid than she had done lately, wrapped in a warm mantle to protect her from the piercing cold, her loss of hair partially concealed under a little pink cap. She looked much more like the Mayflower of old times, when Judith opened the drawing-room door, and ushered her in. William and Dora were in the room with Mr. Hesketh, Frances, and Dudley.
