Complete and unabridged, this edition is sure to become the
definitive modern text of this epic novel from 1888 by Mrs.
Humphrey Ward. This book caused a sensation when it was originally
published, challenging established cultural mores regarding the
practice of religion. This edition has been carefully crafted from
the original with the spelling updated to modern American
standards, and the foreign words and phrases faithfully annotated
so that an English speaking readers may enjoy the work fully
without knowing Latin, Greek, German, or French. This was one of
the most influential books of its time, and holds up well today
both as a compelling story and as a study in late Victorian
culture. ---Excerpt--- About four o'clock on the afternoon of the
day which was to be marked in the annals of Long Whindale as that
of Mrs. Thornburgh's 'high tea, ' that lady was seated in the
vicarage garden, her spectacles on her nose, a large couvre-pied
over her knees, and the Whinborough newspaper on her lap. The
neighborhood of this last enabled her to make an intermittent
pretence of reading; but in reality the energies of her
house-wifely mind were taken up with quite other things. The
vicar's wife was plunged in a housekeeping experiment of absorbing
interest. All her solid preparations for the evening were over, and
in her own mind she decided that with them there was no possible
fault to be found. The cook, Sarah, had gone about her work in a
spirit at once lavish and fastidious, breathed into her by her
mistress. No better tongue, no plumper chickens, than those which
would grace her board to-night were to be found, so Mrs. Thornburgh
was persuaded, in the district. And so with everything else of a
substantial kind. On this head the hostess felt no anxieties.
1906. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the
niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas
Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalized as a
character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. Fenwick's Career
begins: Really, mother, I can't sit any more. I'm that stiff -and
as cold as anything. So said Miss Bella Morrison, as she rose from
her seat with an affected yawn and stretch. In speaking she looked
at her mother, and not at the painter to whom she had been sitting
for nearly two hours. The young man in question stood embarrassed
and silent, his palette on his thumb, brush and mahlstick
suspended. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
Publishing.
1903. Part Two of Two. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold
Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter
of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was
immortalized as a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays.
The second volume of Lady Rose's Daughter begins: On the morning
following these events, Warkworth went down to the Isle of Wight to
see his mother. On the journey he thought much of Julie. They had
parted awkwardly the night before. The evening, which had promised
so well, had, after all, lacked finish and point. What on earth had
that tiresome Miss Lawrence wanted with him? They had talked of
Simla and the Moffats. The conversation had gone in spurts, she
looking at him every now and then with eyes that seemed to say more
than her words. All that she had actually said was perfectly
insignificant and trivial. Yet there was something curious in her
manner, and when the time came for him to take his departure she
had bade him a frosty little farewell. See other titles by this

1920. Frontispiece by Allan Gilbert. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey
Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew Arnold,
and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby
School who was immortalized as a character in the novel Tom Brown's
Schooldays. Harvest begins: Two old laborers came out of the lane
leading to Great End Farm. Both carried bags slung on sticks over
their shoulders. One, the eldest and tallest, was a handsome
fellow, with regular features and a delicately humorous mouth. His
stoop and his slouching gait, the gray locks also, which straggled
from under his broad hat, showed him an old man-probably very near
his old-age pension. But he carried still with him a look of youth,
and he had been a splendid creature in this time. The other was
short of stature and of neck, bent besides by field work. A
broadly-build, clumsy man, with something gnome-like about him, and
the cheerful look of one whose country nerves had never known the
touch of worry or long sickness. The name of the taller man was
Peter Halsey, and Joseph Batts was his companion. See other titles
