Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Judith Wynne, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
And Mrs. Reece went about the house much the same as heretofore, save that a rheumatic stiffness in one knee had made itself felt, and she was compelled to use a stick. The equable manner in which this lady bore her misfortunes, small or great, was a thing to be wondered over. Let her but be convinced that this sorrow or that annoyance was inevitable and irremediable, she at once accepted the situation of affairs, and endeavoured to adapt herself to it. Yet one could scarcely describe her's as the patience of Job' it had a something which the patriarchs lacked, and which could perhaps best be described as a cheery stoicism; and it had not a some thing which the patriarch's had - a full, deep chord of underlying faith and hope.
