The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. VIII, No. 361, November 27, 1886
by Various AuthorsShe told me more than once that her husband was quite satisfied with me; the children thrived under my care, Reggie especially, for Joyce was somewhat frail and delicate. It gratified me to hear this, for a longer acquaintance with Mr. Morton had not lessened my sense of awe in his presence (I had had to feel the pressure of his strong will before ..
The Lost Giant, and Other American Indian Tales Retold
by Violet Moore HigginsAmong the Indians who used to roam over our Western prairies in such vast numbers, story telling was of the greatest importance.
