Excerpt from Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, Vol. 9: January-June, 1848On that stern image, stern, yet sweet withal Stooping decrepitude, old age's dower, Hath fled, and left the impress of high power But what or whence no mortal tongue may say, Save 'tis the seal of Heaven, though set in clay.Bring the rude coffin, while the country poor Stand in mute grief about the hostel door.True mourners they and Kitty, faithful soul, Gives each, for Molly's sake, a funeral dole; And, sighing at her heart, tends pigs and fowls, And bird and beast - and when the screeching owls Raise their wild night-cries, she, with shuddering speed, Binds bolt and bar, and sits her down to read, Lonely and sad, beside the hostel fire, Still anxious that the flames should kindle higher For every shadow wears a ghostly gloom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Spirit of Chambers's Journal: Original Tales, Essays, and Sketches, Selected From That WorkJean led no pleasant life amidst the remote and solitary splendours of Cumbernauld, where her chief employment was the disagreeable one of attending her mother, a very in firm and querulous old dame, much given (it was said) to strong waters. At the period when our tale opens, Lady Jean's charms, though never seen in the capital, had begun to make some noise there; and the curiosity excited re specting them amongst the juvenile party of the vice-regal court, had induced Lord Wigton to confine her ladyship even more strictly than heretofore, lest, perchance, some gallant might make a pilgrimage to his country-seat in order to behold her, and, from less to more, induce her to quit her retirement, in such a way as would effectually discomfit his schemes for the pre-advancement of his elder daughters. He had been at pains to send an express to Cumbernauld, ordering Lady Jean to be 'confined to the precincts of the house and the terrace-garden, and to be closely attended in all her movements by a trusty domestic. The consequence was, that the young lady complained most piteously to her deaf old lady-mother of the tedium and listlessness of her. Life, and wished with all her heart that she were as ugly, old, and happy as her sisters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
