The Two Sides of the Shield
Yonge, Charlotte M. (Charlotte Mary)
Domestic fiction; England -- Social life and customs -- 19th century -- Fiction
By-and-by came letters from Dolores. She seemed after the first to have
enjoyed her journey, for, as she wrote to Lady Merrifield, in a letter,
very private, and all to her own self, ‘Father was so very good and kind
to me, I don’t know how to tell you. It was as if a little bit of mother
had got into him, and now I am here I think I shall like the Mays.
Indeed, I am trying to remember your advice, and not beginning by hating
everybody and thinking who they are not. Aunt Phyllis is very nice
indeed, and sometimes her eyes and mouth get like Mysie’s, and her voice
is just exactly yours. Only she is plump and roundabout, not a dear,
tall, graceful figure like my White Lily Aunt. Please don’t call
it nonsense, for indeed I mean it, and Aunt Phyllis does like your
photograph so much. I have the whole group hung up in my room, and you
over it, and I wish you all good morning every day, for I never, never,
as long as I live, shall love anybody like you and Mysie.’
