Whom God Hath Joined: A Novel

Excerpt from Whom God Hath Joined: A NovelKitty was now seven years old, and already her great pleasures were to read and to romp, as her mother and Aunt Rebecca Forrest declared, the one in a prophetic spirit and a somewhat querulous, old maidish tone, and the other with a sense that although little girls should not be quite so much like boys, yet there was still abundant time for better things.That child is a perfect tomboy, Eliza, Aunt Rebecca said one day when she saw her flying head long down the hill on her way from school, leading a shouting troop behind her. She ought to be made to behave herself.Kitty, said Mrs. Danforth, turning to the child as she came in with her cheeks red, her dark eyes shining, and her hair in a tumble under her loosened hood, how often have I told you not to run so in the street? Little girls should walk and act like ladies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
