London Society, 1889, Vol. 55 A Monthly Magazine of Light and Amusing Literature for the Hours of Relaxtion (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from London Society, 1889, Vol. 55: A Monthly Magazine of Light and Amusing Literature for the Hours of Relaxtion He had become used to his quiet life and its daily round of duties. His health had visibly improved and he told Sheba laughingly that he trusted his case was not to be one of the usual ones she had so cheered him by citing as fatal. His interest in his young pupil only increased as time went on, and his influence over her was extraordinary as well as beneficial. With his teaching on the one hand and Aunt Allison's womanly counsel and tenderness on the other, Sheba could not but improve. The Saxtons had done her good in many ways, but all the devotion of her heart was lavished on Aunt Allison, who was her ideal of all that was perfect in womanhood. It was growing towards dusk one May evening - the evening of Sheba's fourteenth birthday - and she was sitting on a low gstool before the bright wood fire, expecting the arrival of Bessie and her aunt who were to spend it with her.
