Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nelly Armstrong, Vol. 2 of 2: A Story of the Day
She had been obliged to resist her parents' desire that she should return to them in November. Cruel and heartless they thought her, for she knew that her mother's health was failing, and that she was rapidly losing her eyesight. But still they never suspected the truth; her love of gaiety and fine things, they supposed was what detained her in town. Neglected by their child, wounded in their feelings, they discontinued for some time their correspondence with her. It was a relief to Nelly, who trembled whenever she received a letter. But her consciousness of what they must think of her want of duty added to the weight on her spirits. My punishment is greater than I can bear, was now Often the cry of her heart.
