Done for the day..

“You know that I have forbidden you to read novels, Emily Starr. They are wicked books and have ruined many souls.”

لفتتني الفكرة! إليزابيث (الخالة الكبرى) نفس أختي ولكن بشكل ألطف.. كنت مممنوعة مثل إيميلي عن قراءة الروايات لوقت غير بعيد، وما اهتميت بقراءتها ولحد الآن هي من التصنيفات اللي لا بأس فيها لكن ما أتطلع لها على الدوام..

“P. S. Dear Father, it is lovely to write to you. But O, I never get an answer back.

إيميلي أبوك يلعب بالسطح..

"Children can be the most cruel creatures alive. They have the herd instinct of prejudice against any outsider, and they are merciless in its indulgence."

I can relate to this quote, I was once in Emily's situation, and I believe children can sometimes be more cruel than adults!

“Do you think, Aunt Elizabeth,” she said wistfully, “that God would be much offended if I wore my black dress to church? Of course it’s cheap—I think Ellen Greene paid for it herself—but it covers me all up.”

يا دلبي على براءة إيميلي 🥺

“I thought books belonged to everybody,” said Emily.
