"There, there, little woman! light of my eyes, and core of my heart! if you don''t stop this pretty soon, I very much fear I shall be compelled to join you, Edward Travilla said, between a laugh and a sigh, drawing Zoe closer to him, laying her head against his breast, and kissing her tenderly on lip and cheek and brow. I shall begin to think you already regret having staid behind with me. " ... Read more

Very pleasurable read!
This is one of the better "Elsie Books" that I've read in a while. With plenty of story to go 'round, the book begins with Elsie's son (Edward) and his wife (Zoe) harboring the troublesome Miss Deane. Although polite on the outside, Zoe feels their visitor has harmful intentions, even though Edward doesn't sense it. Soon, there is a blockage between the couple, and Zoe well knows that it all stemmed from the disturbing Miss Deane. To top it off, Edward is involved in a train wreck and Zoe doesn't know if she'll ever again have the chance to ask forgiveness from her injured husband.

Meanwhile, Captain Raymond's daughter, Lulu, has slipped up on letting her temper slither through and eventually ends up hurting her young, baby sister. It was bad timing for this to happen, because the captain has come in on a surprise load of money and he wants to bless his children with so many gifts, but of course, Lulu has to wait on these wonderful things.

I had great pleasure in reading this specific book in the series, although I can't quite pin-point just what it is that made this story so delightful.

Come join Elsie and her family. Their doors are always open. ... Read more

Daniel's sonnet series has been by many regarded as the prototype of Shakespeare's. It is true that several of Daniel's themes are repeated in the cycle composed by the greater poet. The ideas of immortality in verse, the transitoriness of beauty, the assurances of truth, the humility and the woes of the lover, the pain of separation and the comfort of night thoughts, shape the mood of both poets. But these motives are also found in the pages of many other sonneteers of the time. ... Read more

The true story of the life of Michael Drayton might be told to vindicate the poetic traditions of the olden time. A child-poet
wandering in fay-haunted Arden, or listening to the harper that frequented the fireside of Polesworth Hall where the boy was
a petted page, later the honoured almoner of the bounty of many patrons, one who "not unworthily," as Tofte said, "beareth
the name of the chiefest archangel, singing after this soule-ravishing manner." ... Read more
