Excerpt from Fanny and Arthur, or Persevere and Prosper: A Tale of Interest Fanny, had been brought up for the chief part of her short life at Fairdown-court, a largo old-fashioned farm-house, in a beautiful part of Kent, belonging to her grandpapa Chester. Here there were a great many uncles and aunts, her mamma's brothers and sisters, who were very kind to Fanny, besides grandpapa and grandmamma, who were so fond of her, that they wished her to live there always, and never called her anything but "the little darling." Fanny was a very pretty little girl, strong and healthy, - a little of a romp, a little spoiled and wilful, but very affectionate, and gentle to all those whom she loved and respected. She was very fond of reading, and would sit, for hours together, as quiet as a mouse, if you gave her a pretty hook. This is all I shall say just now about Fanny. She had some faults, - really great faults, which you will find out for yourselves as you go on with this story.
