"Christmas, A Happy Time" by Alicia Catherine Mant is a heartwarming tale set in the early 19th century, focusing on the Mortimer family as they prepare for and celebrate Christmas. The story begins with Harriet and Elizabeth Mortimer eagerly awaiting the return of their brothers, John and Frederick, from school. The narrative captures the excitement and anticipation of the siblings as they prepare for the festive season, emphasizing the joy of family reunions. The Mortimer family, led by their kind and generous parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer, embodies the spirit of Christmas through acts of kindness and charity. They engage in various activities, such as preparing gifts and clothing for the less fortunate in their village, organizing a festive dinner for the local schoolchildren, and hosting a grand family gathering.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' Harriet and Elizabeth Mortimer were two very pretty, and generally speaking, very good little girls. Their kind papa and mamma had taken a great deal of pains that they should be good, and it was very seldom that they vexed them by being otherwise. A very happy time was now expected in the family at Beech Grove, by the arrival of John and Frederick Mortimer from school: it was within a few days of Christmas; and as the sisters and brothers had never, till the last few months, been separated, their meeting together again was looked forward to with general and lively pleasure.'Do you see anything of the stage, Elizabeth ' said Harriet to her sister, who had been running down to the end of the plantation to peep over the gate, and listen if she could hear the approach of wheels.'No: there is nothing in sight,' replied Elizabeth, whose teeth chattered from the cold, while her hands were so benumbed, she could scarcely close the gate, which she had ventured to open about half an inch.'They will never come,' said Harriet; 'but you should not open the gate, you know papa and mamma both told us we should not do that. And how cold you are! you are all over in a shiver. Come let us have a run round, and that will warm you. Remember mamma begged of us not to stand still in this sharp cutting wind.' 24 pp. Englisch.
