4.9/5 (21070 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Passage Perilous Christian afterwards confessed to a friend that all through her youth and undeveloped girlhood she had never opened her eyes on a new day without a secret hope that something wonderful and unexpected might happen, and when evening closed in and everything had been as usual, she would whisper confidentially to her pillow: It has only been a stupid common sort of day, but to-morrow something may happen, for she was a foolish, dreamy little soul, and being an only child, had lived a curious inner life of her own. But as the years went on and nothing but the grim, sad realities of life confronted her, Christian grew less eager and hopeful, and those bright visions which had haunted her growing girlhood had faded into grayness. As she sat alone of an evening - for she had many solitary hours - her work would lie untouched on her lap, as her thoughts strayed to her childish past, and then rested heavily on the monotony of her present life, and her eyes would smart with unshed tears at the bitter contrast. In those dear old days I was never lonely, she would say to herself; how could I be lonely when I had mother I daresay many girls would not have thought it much of a life, she went on; we were so poor after father's death, and mother was such an invalid, and it was such a dull, poky little house, with no garden, and only Betty to do everything; and yet how happy we were I And here was a lump in Christian's throat as she remembered how bright the little parlour had looked with its cheerful fireside and the dear invalid smiling a welcome as she entered: I am so glad it is you, darling; I thought, perhaps, it might be your Aunt Caroline or Adelaide. And then that chapter of her life had closed, and Christian, who had grown thin with fretting, had become the inmate of her aunt's house.
