To do mischief where she most wished to do good, to grieve where she longed to comfort, seemed to be her fate; it was vain to attempt anything for anyone's good, while all her warm feelings and high aspirations were thwarted by the awkward ungainly hands and heedless eyes that Nature had given her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
