Excerpt from Home Influence, Vol. 2 of 2: A Tale for Mothers and DaughtersEmmeline, at fifteen, was just the same sportive, happy, innocent child, as she had been at twelve. Her feelings were, indeed, still deeper, her imagination more vivid, her religion more fervid. To her every thing was touched with poetry - it mattered not how dull and commonplace it might seem to other people, but Mrs. Hamilton's judicious care had so taught that Truth alone was poetry and beauty - sthe Ideal only loveable when its basis was the Real, - that she was neither romantic nor visionary. Keen as her sensi bilities were, even over a work of fiction, they prompted the deed and act of kindness, not the tear alone. For miles round her father's large domains she was known, loved, so felt as a guardian spirit, that the very sound of her step seemed to promise joy. She actually seemed to live for others - making their pleasures hers, and, withal, so joyous, especially in her own home and at Greville Manor, that even anxiety seemed exorcised when she was near. Before strangers, indeed, she would be shy as a young fawn, though even then natural kindliness of heart prompted such kindness of word and manner, as always to excite the wish to see her again.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
