Book Description

Excerpt from Family Records, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Two Sisters "Heaven forming each on other to depend, - A master, or a servant, or a friend, - Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all. Wants, frailties, fashions, closer still ally The common interest, or endear the tie. To these we owe true friendship, love sincere, Each home felt joy that life inherits here." Pope. "What can be the cause of your abstraction, dear Margaret," said the beautiful Susan Falkland to her sister, who was gazing intently from her bed-room window at the scene before her, apparently forgetful that her toilette was still unfinished, while Susan was engaged with the arrangement of her hair. "You have not uttered a word for this half hour, and you are not usually so slow in preparation for a fine day's enjoyment." A scarcely audible sigh was breathed at the conclusion of these words; and Margaret turned hastily from the objects of her late contemplation, to catch the reason of a sadness which her quick affection had perceived in her sisters manner. "You shall soon hear all that was passing in my mind, dear Susan." "What! all, Margaret?" "Yes, yes, all," rejoined she, as the mantling blood in her laughing cheeks almost convinced her more serious sister that she would not be as able as she was willing to fulfil her promise.
