She reads well when she chooses, but I am sorry to say that in some of the fine passages of this last book she took quite a false tone. I couldn't have read them aloud, myself; I should have broken down. But Pulcheria, ---would you really believe it?---when she couldn't go on, it was not for tears, but for---the contrary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
