MR. HARLAND was one of those enviable persons who invariably take a cheerful view of everything; in the favorite parlance of the day, he was an optimist.

In this way he was a philosopher, and would discourse for a good half hour at a time on the folly of a man who permitted himself to be disturbed by any atmospheric changes; he thought it derogatory to the dignity of a human being to be depressed by a trifle more or less of fog.…mehr

MR. HARLAND was one of those enviable persons who invariably take a cheerful view of everything; in the favorite parlance of the day, he was an optimist. A good digestion, an easy-going temperament, and a conscious void of offense toward his fellow-creatures, all contributed to furnish him with a fine flow of spirits. In this way he was a philosopher, and would discourse for a good half hour at a time on the folly of a man who permitted himself to be disturbed by any atmospheric changes; he thought it derogatory to the dignity of a human being to be depressed by a trifle more or less of fog. No man delighted more than he did in the sunshine—a spring day moved him to exuberant animation; but, on the other hand, no pressure of London smoke, no damp, clinging fog, no scarifying east wind, no wearisome succession of wet days, ever evoked an impatient expression or brought him down to the dull level on which other people find themselves.
Autorenporträt
Rosa Nouchette Carey (1840-1909) was a prominent English writer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for her many novels that appealed to a wide audience, particularly young girls and women of the middle class. Carey's literary style was characterized by an infusion of domestic realism and moral undertones, which was aligned with the Victorian ideal of propriety and virtue. She captured the trials and tribulations of her heroines with sensitivity and a certain domestic charm, allowing readers to empathize with characters navigating societal expectations and personal growth. One of her novels, 'Averil' (1886), exemplifies Carey's approach, offering insights into the life of a young woman who struggles with responsibility and love. The book, like many of her works, highlights Carey's commitment to exploring themes of family, duty, and the inner lives of women. Carey authored over forty books throughout her career, some other notable titles include 'Nellie's Memories' (1868), 'Wee Wifie' (1875), and 'Herb of Grace' (1908). Her role in shaping the landscape of women's literature during her time is well documented, with her works contributing to the genre of family and domestic fiction, and they continue to be of scholarly interest today for those studying the evolution of women's writing and the depiction of women's experiences in the Victorian era.
