Excerpt from The Crown of SuccessBut a time came at last when these careless days must end. Dame Deeley had to take a long journey - she would be absent for many a month and on the evening before her departure she called her four children around her.My dear children, she said, I must leave you; I must give you up for a while to the care of another. But I have chosen a guardian for you who is worthy of all your respect. Mr. Learn ing is coming to see you to-morrow, just an hour before I start; and I hope that he will find you all good and obedient children during my absence. Whatever he may bid you do, do for the love of me, and when you attend to Mr Learning, think that you are pleasing your mother.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
