At a distance of about twice a stone's-throw from the new carriage-road between Durstan and Bulsted, I fancied from old recollections she might be Kiomi herself.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - A single tent stood in a gully running from one of the gravel-pits of the heath, near an iron-red rillet, and a girl of Kiomi's tribe leaned over the lazy water at half length, striking it with her handkerchief. At a distance of about twice a stone's-throw from the new carriage-road between Durstan and Bulsted, I fancied from old recollections she might be Kiomi herself. This was not the time for her people to be camping on Durstan. Besides, I feared it improbable that one would find her in any of the tracks of her people. The noise of the wheels brought the girl's face round to me. She was one of those who were babies in the tents when I was a boy. We were too far apart for me to read her features. I lay back in the carriage, thinking that it would have been better for my poor little wild friend if I had never crossed the shadow of her tents. A life caught out of its natural circle is as much in danger of being lost as a limb given to a wheel in spinning machinery; so it occurred to me, until I reflected that Prince Ernest might make the same remark, and deplore the damage done to the superior machinery likewise.

Autorenporträt
George Meredith was an English novelist and poet, born on February 12, 1828. Meredith was born to Thomas Meredith and Jane Cholmeley. He was a prominent figure in the Victorian era, initially known for his poetry, which was heavily influenced by poets like John Keats. Over time, Meredith transitioned into novel writing and became recognized for his works in this genre. His novel The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) caused a stir in Victorian literary circles due to its controversial themes. However, it was his later novels, such as The Egoist (1879) and Diana of the Crossways (1885) that earned him enduring acclaim. His works often explored complex psychological and moral dilemmas, blending wit with serious social critique. Meredith's other notable works include The Shaving of Shagpat (1856), Farina (1857), and Evan Harrington (1861). Throughout his career, he developed a reputation for his intricate character studies and exploration of human nature. Meredith's influence extended well into the 20th century, and his work remains a key part of Victorian literature.
