Books with author Mrs Henry de La Pasture

Excerpt from Peter's MotherIndeed it would seem that some cease to be aware what their own personal wishes are.With anxious eyes fixed on others - the hus band, father, sons, who dominate them, - they live to please, to serve, to nurse, and to console; revered certainly as queens of their tiny king doms, but also helpless as prisoners.Calm, as fixed stars, they regard (perhaps sometimes a little wistfully) the orbits of brighter planets, and the flashing of occasional meteors, within their ken; knowing that their own place is unchangeable - immutable.That the views of such women are often narrow, their prejudices many, their conventions tiresome, who shall deny? That their souls are pure and tender, their hearts Open to kindness as are their hands to charity, nobody who knows the type will dispute. They lack many advantages which their more independent sisters (no less gifted with noble and womanly qualities) enjoy, but they possess a peculiar gentleness, which is all their own, whether it be adored or despised.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Honourable Mrs. GarryErica, sitting opposite her mother, glanced at the jewelled watch on her wrist, and observed that their journey was drawing to a close. The train was due at Paddington in half an hour. This, she judged, would give her time to make her explanation, and to receive her mother's ejaculations thereon, without leaving a margin for too much repetition on either side. She had to allow, also, for the cajolery or persuasion that might be necessary to ensure Lady Clow's perfect docility in following out the course of action upon which her daughter had decided but experience had taught Erica that it easier to surprise than to argue her parent intu acquiescence with her schemes; Lady Clow was, like most persons of weak character, much given to after-thoughts, remorse, and the impulse to go back upon any given decision.Erica looked at the face opposite - large, flabby, yet cherubic; with light blue round eyes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
