Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt: Barbara Rebell's tenth birthday,-that is the ninth of June, 1870,-was destined to be long remembered by her as a day of days; both as having seen the first meeting with one who, though unknown till then, had occupied a great place in her imagination, if only because the name of this lady, her godmother, had been associated every night and morning with that of her father and mother in her prayers, and as having witnessed the greatest of her childish disappointments.
