Excerpt from Barbara's History, Vol. 1 of 3 I am about to tell the story of my life - that is, the story of my childhood and my youth, for the romance of life is mostly lived out before we reach middle age, and beyond that point the tale grows monotonous either in its grief, or its gladness. Mine began and ended when I was young. When I was young! They are but four words, and yet, at the very commencement of what must prove a labour of many months, they have power to arrest my pen, and blind my eyes with unaccustomed tears. Tears partaking both of joy and sorrow, such tears as those through which we all look back to childhood and its half-forgotten story. Oh, happy time! so islanded in the still waters of memory, so remote, and yet so near, so strange, yet so familiar!
