Excerpt from All the Year Round, Vol. 1: A Nature ReaderBut the brave little girls did not give up, though they Often had to sit down to rest. They watched the fish in the brook, and the Squirrels, and the birds.They wished that there were flowers to pick on the bare sides of the hill. After a while, it grew very dark; but then the kind moon came out to Show them the way. At last, they reached the top of the hill, and there at the gate stood the little old lady, looking more cross than ever.The little girls were very much frightened, and stayed Close together.Finally, one of them said, Please, we thought you could tell us something to do to make every one happy. But we want always to stay together, and we are very tired. Then the people say that the cross old lady was seen to smile in the moonlight, as she opened the gate for the Children.The two little girls were never seen again at the foot of the hill. But the next morning, all over the hillside, the people saw growing beauti ful waving golden-rod and purple asters. And I have heard it said that these two bright flowers, which always grow together, could tell the secret, if they would, of what became of the two little girls on that moonlight summer night.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

All round the year the changing suns and rains Beat on men’s work—to wreck and to decay— But nature builds more perfectly than they, Her changing unchanged sea resists, remains. All round the year new flowers spring up to shew How gloriously life is more strong than death; And in our hearts are seeds of love and faith, Ah, sun and showers, be kind, and let them grow.

"If you please, madam," answered Algernon, with a bright, amused smile and an easy bow, "but I should like to know--if it be not indiscreet--on what special subject? I am, indeed, to be congratulated on finding myself here. But, then, you are hardly likely to be the person to do it." At that moment Algernon was wedged into a corner behind a fat old gentleman, who was vainly struggling to extricate himself from the crowd in front, by making a series of short plunges forward, the rebound of which sent him back on to Algernon's toes with some violence. It was very hot, and a young lady was singing out of tune in the adjoining room; her voice floating over the murmur of conversation occasionally, in a wailing long-drawn note. Altogether, it might have been suspected by some persons that Mr. Ancram Errington was laughing at his hostess, when he spoke of his position at that time as being one which called for congratulation. But Mrs. Machyn-Stubbs was the sort of woman who completely baffled irony by a serene incapability of perceiving it. And she would sooner suspect you of maligning her, hating her, or insulting her, than of laughing at her. To this immunity from all sense of the ridiculous she owed her chief social successes; for there are occasions when some obtuseness of the faculties is useful. Mrs. Machyn-Stubbs tapped Algernon's arm lightly with her fan, as she answered, "Now, Mr. Errington, that's all very well with the outside world, but you shouldn't make mysteries with us! I look upon you almost as a brother of Orlando's, I do indeed." "You're very kind, indeed, and I'm immensely obliged to you; but, upon ...

Then Lady Seely also left the room, having first bidden Algernon to come and dine with her the next day. Algernon was dumfonndered. Not that he had not perceived the scornful Castalia's partiality for his charming self; not that her submission to his wishes, or even his whims, and her jealous anxiety to keep him by her side whenever there appeared to be danger of his leaving it for the company of a yonnger or more attractive woman, had escaped his observation. But Algernon was not fatuous enough to consider himself a lady-killer. His native good taste would alone have prevented him from having any such pretension. It was ridiculous; and it involved, almost of necessity, some affectation. And Algernon never was affected. He accepted Castalia's marked preference as the most natural thing in the world. He had been used to be petted and preferred all his life. But it truly had not entered into his head that the preference meant anything more than that Castalia found him amusing, and clever, and goodlooking, and that she liked to keep so attractive a personage to herself as much as possible. For Algernon had noted the Honourable Castalia's little grudging jealousies, and he knew as well as anybody that she did not like to hear him praise Lady Harriet, for whom, indeed, she had long entertained a smouldering sort of dislike. But that she should have anything like a tender sentiment for himself, and, still more, that Lady Seely should see and approve it--for my lady's words and manner implied no less--was a very astonishing idea indeed. So astonishing was it, that after a while he came to the conclusion that the idea was erroneous. He turned Lady Seely's words in his mind, this way and that, and tr...
