Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Kensington
Lady Sarah could scarcely have told you the meaning of those tears as they fell - old love and life partings, sorrows and past mercies, all came returning to her with the familiar words of the prayers. The tears fell bright and awe-stricken as she thought of the present - of distances immeasurable of life and its inconceivable mystery; and then her heart would warm with hope perhaps of what might be to come, of the overwhelming possibilities - how many of them to her lay in the warm clasp of the child's hand that came pushing into hers l - For her, as for the children, heaven's state was in the old wooden pew. Then the sing-song of the hymn would flood the old church with its homely cadence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
