Wives and Daughters. An Every-Day Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781533114853)

The Dawn of a Gala Day. To begin with the old rigmarole of childhood. In a country there was a shire, and in that shire there was a town, and in that town there was a house, and in that house there was a room, and in that room there was a bed, and in that bed there lay a little girl; wide awake and longing to get up, but not daring to do so for fear of the unseen power in the next room; a certain Betty, whose slumbers must not be disturbed until six oclock struck, when she wakened of herself as sure as clockwork, and left the household very little peace afterwards.
