Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 52: July to December, 1891Janet's love for Captain George was as yet a timid, callow fledgeling that could do nothing but ¿utter in the nest where it was born. Very pretty to look at, but not to be looked at too Often, for fear lest its hiding-place should be found out and some rude hand should take it unawares. Her love for Sister Agnes was of a different texture, and made up the real quiet happiness of her life. She felt like a plant that has been lifted out of the cold corner in which it has found the elements of a stunted growth and set to bask in a ¿ood of gracious sunshine. In such cases the result is not difficult to foretell. The plant grows more and more beautiful under the sweet in¿uence that has been brought to bear upon it, and repays the sunshine with its most fragrant blossoms. In such-like was Janet's young life nourished and enriched by the love that existed between her and Sister Agnes. Her inner life developed itself unconsciously her heart grew in wisdom, and all the finer qualities of her nature began to unfold themselves one by one as delicate leaves unfold themselves in the sun.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
