Book Description
Excerpt from The Children's Book of Moral Lessons The mother's love. The mother's smile. The motherless girls. The Child's dependence on its mother for Speech, health, etc. I AM sure you will like this picture. It looks dark at first. That is because there is a shade over the lamp which stands on the table. A little light comes in at the cottage window, for the morning is just beginning to dawn. You can see the beams across the ceiling plain country chairs and there is something lying on a rough bed across two of these Chairs; and there are four people. One is'the doctor, whose Chin rests on his hand, as he looks upon the some thing stretched on the bed. On the bed lies a child about six years Old, his curly head half hidden in a pillow, his hand hanging over as if it were too weak to clasp anything. Perhaps the doctor will presently whisper that this dear child is dying. Near the window stands the father; his face is sad; his lips are pressed tight; he is watching the doctor. And you can see another person, though you cannot behold her face, for She is leaning her head on her arm, and her arms lie on a table, and her hands are clasped together. Though you cannot View her face, you know the mother is crying. This picture was painted by Mr. Luke Fildes.
