Clara Vaughan : Volume II (Illustrated) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This book is an illustrated version of the original Clara Vaughan by R. D. Blackmore. “The day when I was ten years old began my serious life. It was the 30th of December, 1842; and proud was the kiss my loving father gave me for spelling, writing, and pronouncing the date in English, French, and Italian. No very wonderful feat, it is true, for a clever child well-taught; but I was by no means a clever child; and no one except my father could teach me a single letter. When, after several years of wedlock, my parents found new joy in me, their bliss was soon overhung with care.”
