Excerpt from Sunday Echoes in Week-Day Hours: A Tale Illustrative of the Church Catechism She would be ten years old tomorrow. But it was not regret for the concluded year of her life that made Nellie look so gloomy as she sat this afternoon in the comfortless cottage. That Nellie was in trouble it was easy to see, and a little further observation would have dis covered that the trouble arose from a book which she held in her hand, for every now and then her eyes were cast on the Open page before her, not to remain there very long however, the next instant they were gazing vacantly through the uncleaned Windows on the dark clouds in the sky, and again, an instant afterwards, fixed on the grate before which she sat, not on the fire, for that had gone out some time ago. Nellie had heaved several heavy sighs that afternoon, and she had just brought the heaviest Of them all to a conclusion, and uttered a most unmusical sound, Which was half a groan and half a yawn, when her wandering attention was fixed by the sight of a lady entering the little untidy garden in front of the house. Nellie had never seen the lady before, but she had heard quite enough about her to know at once Who she was, and where she came from. She was doubt less Mrs. Stancombe, the new rector's wife.
