Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Good in Every Thing: A Story
Gilbert had been ill nearly all the winter, and he had become very weak and pale and thin; he had not been out of the house for many weeks; and as it had been necessary to keep him very quiet, he used to think more than he talked; besides which, being an only child, he had seen little of other chil dren, and the occupations of his parents left him a good deal alone: therefore Gilbert was thought ful.
And especially he used to think about the coun try. One day, he had heard the doctor who attend ed him in his illness say to his mother, As soon as the weather is warm enough, Gilbert must go into the country; he will not get strong in Lon don.
From that time he thought about the countrymore than ever; and now that he saw the sunshine falling on the pavement, and felt the warm rays through the window, he began to, hope it would soon be warm enough for him to go into the country.
