Excerpt from Struan: A NovelJenny had been ambitious from her childhood, though it had been long before she got a sufficient insight into life to understand that her restless ness, her excitability, her resentment of the actual about her, was in reality ambition, and it had been some time, even after getting that knowledge, before she had seen her way to any outlet for these inward strivings.It had come, at last, with the knowledge that she had a voice, - not merely such a voice as could make pleasant music in Sunday-school and at Commencement, but such a voice as the big outside world might one day be willing to listen to. And that was the world of Jenny's dream.This dream of hers - which had lasted, with out a break, from her fourteenth to her nineteenth year - had both a locality and a hero. The for mer was the city of New York: the latter was Lucien Struan, the distinguished musician, con ductor, and composer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
