Elizabeth Stansbury Kirkland Dora's Housekeeping

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Here, perhaps, we ought to explain that Dora's mother was an invalid, whose delicate health made it imprudent for her to stay in a cold northern climate through the Winter, and that the doctors had advised her to try the milder air of the South of England. She was Mr. King's sister, and whatever ha} pened in one family was interest ing to both. Don't let us look at it in that light first, dear, said Mrs. King, in answer to Dora's dismal exclamation. Try to think how delightful it will be to have your mam ma get well and strong again, and have a winter of peace and comfort, instead of all the suffering she went through last year.
