Description
Excerpt from Mother Isabel of the Sacred Heart, Carmelite Nun of Lisieux
Monsieur Daurelle left Macon with his children and settled in Paris. He always spent Sunday with his sister-in-law, to the delight of his little daughter who was extremely fond of him. However, this pleasure did not last long, as when she was five and a half he went to Tonkin and she only saw him thrice for a month or two at a time before she entered Carmel.
His absence, and the loss of her mother which she felt keenly as she grew older, made a profound impression on the child. High spirited as she was by nature, she began to brood and give way to melancholy fancies: she thought that life was long and very sad. None the less, the young philosopher was the life and soul of all the children's games so long as they were boys' sports, such as battles, pretending to be savages, boxing with her brothers, and on wet days, toy-soldiers, billiards or cards.
