Excerpt from The World-Mender: A Novel
Whose mother died in sorrow of sudden widowhood while giving him premature birth, so that he came orphaned into the world, never to know a mother's tenderness, a father's disciplined kindness, or the character-molding contact of brothers and sisters. There was no playmate to quarrel with in his grandfather's still and orderly cottage, little variety in the narrow, frugal life, few pleasures and only neutral joys. But though a stranger to caresses, he knew kindness of.
