Description
Excerpt from Noblesse Oblige If I only knew where they all are now his wife was murmuring to Edmee, in weak, wandering tones, as the spring twilight gathered and all the landscape grew indis tinct. Edmee bent over her, put the pillow straight, and thought anxiously that the worn face looked more drawn since morning, and that the voice was fainter. It was lowered, however, as much from instinctive fear and caution as weakness, although there was no one in the house but the mother and daughter, for Leroux was at a meeting, held to deliberate on the last measures Of the Convention. 'if I only knew where they are now, M. Lo Baron and his sons Mademoiselle - how our dear lady loved her born sisters could not have been more to each other; they were brought up in the convent together, our lady and Mademoiselle. Ah, Edmee, dost thou recollect the night I fell down the stairs? - she heard of it and came at once, leaving her guests, only a mantle thrown round her, in her beautiful dress, and wetted the bandages on my head and spoke such kind words. I would have suffered twice as much again gladly, only to hear them.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
