Excerpt from Aunt Diana It is hard. I do not know that even if Aunt Di think it right I shall ever have the heart to do it, ' murmured Alison, talking to her self in her agitation, after the manner of older folk. '1 have just rooted myself in this dear place, and the soil suits me. I could not ourish anywhere else 3 and, ' finished Alison, with a quaint little smile, sickly plants are worth nothing.' To any ordinary spectator the interior of that little room would have presented a picture of perfect serenity and absolute comfort. Even the young creature comfortably seated in a chair by the window, with an open letter and a cluster of deep red roses lying amongst the folds of her white gown, presented no disturbing image, though the cheek had lost its wonted fresh colour, and the dark, dreamy eyes had a look of doubt that was almost pain in them.
