Excerpt from The Guardian Angels: Or Friends in Heaven All was still. NO noise, no sound, save the low moan of little Alice, was heard within. Busy feet, on tip-toe, came and went, friends looked grief, yet spoke not, - but the tears that coursed each other quickly down the mother's pale, wan cheek, as she stood almost breathless, bending over her suffering child, too plainly told her anxious sorrow. At length the lids slowly unclosed, and the soft, blue eyes rested upon her mother. She smiled, - oh, that smile! The first for many, many long weeks! Then the mother wept tears of joy, as she thought that her child, her only one, might still live to be her solace in after years. Alas! Fond parent, thy hope is vain! Even now the guardian angel waits to take her to Him who gave her thee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
