Books with title Help!: A Story of Friendship

Excerpt from Friendship: A StoryThe Misses Moira, of Moira, lived on their own lands in Caithness, were very rich, very ugly, very eccentric, spoke with a strong native accent, and delivered their opinions uncalled for; two of their sister's children were respectively the Duchess of Forfar and the Marquis of Fingal; the younger was the echo of the elder - both wore spectacles, both were deaf; and neither ever forgot that the Moiras, of Craig Moira, had the right to sit before their sovereign, and were allied with half the bluest blood and highest names in Great Britain.They were now about to call on one of their connections, and gazed anxiously through their spectacles for the Castle of Fior delisa, where she dwelt. Fiordelisa came at last in sight, a grey, rambling, and ancient pile, set amidst cypress and ilex woods, with its gardens straying down into its farm-lands in Italian fashion, covering hills and plains with corn and vine and olive.A braw place this, but ill-kept, said the elder Miss Moira, as they entered a dark avenue of ancient oaks, and has tho idolatrous emblems oven at the very gates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

CHERE COMTESSE ETOILE, pardon me, but you sow the earth with dragon's teeth!' said Lady Cardiff one morning, about four o'clock, on the Pincio. 'You cannot want enemies; you really cannot want them - you must have so many! I don't wish to be rude, you know, but you must. Whoever shines, &c. Why will you make so many unnecessary ones? Do tell me.' 'What have I done?' said Etoile with amazement and a little absently. She was thinking of things that Ioris had said the night before in VOL. II.
