Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - One summer afternoon, Helen Woodbourne returned from her daily walk with her sisters, and immediately repaired to the school-room, in order to put the finishing touches to a drawing, with which she had been engaged during the greater part of the morning. She had not been long established there, before her sister Katherine came in, and, taking her favourite station, leaning against the window shutter so as to command a good view of the street, she began, 'Helen, do you know that the Consecration is to be on Thursday the twenty-eighth, instead of the Tuesday after?' 'I know Lizzie wished that it could be so,' said Helen, 'because the twenty-eighth is St. Augustine's day; but I thought that the Bishop had appointed Tuesday.' 'But Papa wrote to him, and he has altered the day as Papa wished; I heard Mamma and Mr. Somerville talking about it just now when I went into the drawing-room,' answered Katherine
Autorenporträt
English author Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) composed her works for the church. Her prodigious literary output not only demonstrated her deep interest in public health and sanitation issues, but also contributed to the Oxford Movement's wider dissemination. William Yonge and Fanny Yonge, née Bargus, welcomed Charlotte Mary Yonge into the world on August 11, 1823, at Otterbourne, Hampshire, England. Her father taught her schooling at home, where she studied algebra, Latin, Greek, and French. Her father might be a strict teacher: I could never have matched his meticulousness and correctness. He frequently made me cry and yelled at me so loudly that no one could listen, yet his approval was so sweet that it was a great stimulation. I think it would have devastated our hearts to stop working together, despite everyone's complaints about my inherent slovenliness. We continued till I was a few years older than twenty. Yonge's relationship with her father appears to have established the bar for all future relationships, including marriage, because of her unwavering lifetime commitment to him. Their "approbation was throughout life my bliss; his anger my misery for the time."
