A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Rose Gottingham A BIRTHDAY SPENT IN DISGRACE OOMEWHERE in the darkened house a clock struck. OI ts deep boom startled Rose out of sleep and she sat up in bed, amazed and disconcerted to find that she had closed her eyes at all, so firmly had she determined to keep awake all night. It was reassuring to find the room still obscure, though the dawn light was beginning to steal between the chinks of the blind, and she could just discern the outlines of her sisters little bed and the white rim of the mantelpiece, upon which stood the clock she must at once consult. Im nine years old to-day! The reflection, awe-inspiring and rather troubling on the score of venerability, rose to her mind and was blent with anxiety as to the exact hour, for it was only the last echo of the hall clock that had reached her. Rose crept out of bed and peered into the white face of the little timepiece. Five oclock! It was not too late, but she must make haste, for the fishing-boats went out at half-past five. For a mere early morning garden-excursion, such as she had clandestinely more than once enjoyed, a jacket over her nightgown had always sufficed.
