Alarmed successively by every fashionable medical terror of the day, she dosed her children with every specific which was publicly advertised or privately recommended...the consequence was, that the dangers, which had at first been imaginary, became real: these little victims of domestic medicine never had a day's health: they looked, and were, more dead than alive.

Alarmed Successively By Every Fashionable Medical Terror

More From Maria Edgeworth

They'd had fun, for sure. they laughed and enjoyed being together. but if she was painfully honest with herself, something was missing. something in the way tim looked at her. she remembered her mom's word. "i saw the way he looked at you...he adores you." maybe that was it. tim looked at her on a surface level. he smiled and seemed happy to see her. but when cody looked at her, there were no layers left, nothing her didn't reveal, nothing he couldn't see. he didn't really look at her so much as he looked into her. to the deepest, most real places in her heart and soul.
Mom Fun Real
She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.
Life Hymns Snow
In a way, her strangeness, her naiveté, her craving for the other half of her equation was the consequence of an idle imagination. had she paints, or clay, or knew the discipline of the dance, or strings, had she anything to engage her tremendous curiosity and her gift for metaphor, she might have exchanged the restlessness and preoccupation with whim for an activity that provided her with all she yearned for. and like an artist with no art form, she became dangerous.
Art Discipline Imagination
My mother took too much, a great deal too much, care of me; she over-educated, over-instructed, over-dosed me with premature lessons of prudence: she was so afraid that i should ever do a foolish thing, or not say a wise one, that she prompted my every word, and guided my every action. so i grew up, seeing with her eyes, hearing with her ears, and judging with her understanding, till, at length, it was found out that i had not eyes, ears or understanding of my own.
Wise Mother Eye
It is an important distinction to note that she looked not only as if she had taken good care of herself, but that she had good reason to have done so. (...) she looked to be in such total possession of her life that only the most confident men could continue to look at her if she looked back at them. even in bus stations, she was a woman who was stared at only until she looked back.
Taken Men Important
I think i fell in love with her, a little bit. isn't that dumb? but it was like i knew her. like she was my oldest, dearest friend. the kind of person you can tell anything to, no matter how bad, and they'll still love you, because they know you. i wanted to go with her. i wanted her to notice me. and then she stopped walking. under the moon, she stopped. and looked at us. she looked at me. maybe she was trying to tell me something; i don't know. she probably didn't even know i was there. but i'll always love her. all my life.
