Description
Excerpt from Home Letters
It was the saddest day and parting that we ever experienced! And the memory of its sadness is not pleasant to recall, even now. Dear little Perrin''s tear ful face and convulsive weeping nearly broke my heart when he said: Ma! Ma! Don''t go! Please, don''t go!
As the city gradually faded away in the dim dis tance, and we could no longer distinguish the reced ing forms of the little group standing at the end of the long pier, waving their last fond adieus, freighted with blessings for us, our sad reveries were broken by the sharp stroke of the bell, calling us below to lunch. Neither J or myself felt much inclined to answer the summons, but Common Sense, sturdy old fellow! Suggested the propriet-y of putting aside our mental disquietude and looking a little after our physical necessities, if we expected to derive any real benefit from the sea-voyage on which we were just entering.
