Excerpt from Social Distinction, or Hearts and HomesPerhaps had Kate lived altogether in the family by whom her services were required, even her philosophy might sometimes have been at fault, but happily for her there always came the hour of escape, the long walk in the fresh air, the liberty of action after this escape, which, added to the comparatively small responsibility of cultivating the intellect alone, without the heart at all times, and the character in general, rendered her position, so far as the Reynolds family was concerned, by no means an irksome or unpleasant one.And well it was, indeed, for Kate, that for the most part things went smoothly on between her and her pupils, for in other quarters clouds seemed gathering every day above her head. They gathered gradually, however - that was something, and what was more, she had naturally a stout heart and cheerful spirit, with which to encounter their threatening gloom. Had these supports once failed her, had she yielded but for a single day or hour to morbid sensitiveness, or dark forebodings, it is impossible to say into what depths she might have been plunged. As it was, there were growing anxieties encroaching every day upon her peace of mind, and what rendered them infinitely more difficult to bear with fortitude was this that under the heaviest and the most acute she could in no way help herself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
