Stray Pearls is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge, a prominent British author of the Victorian era. The story revolves around the lives of two sisters, Ethel and Lucy May, who are left orphaned at a young age. The girls are sent to live with their uncle, who is a strict and austere man, and they struggle to adapt to their new life.As the sisters grow older, they encounter a variety of challenges and obstacles. Ethel falls in love with a young man, but their relationship is threatened by her uncle's disapproval. Lucy, on the other hand, is forced to confront the harsh realities of poverty and social inequality.Throughout the novel, Yonge explores themes of love, family, class, and gender roles. She also offers a vivid portrayal of Victorian society, with its rigid social hierarchies and strict moral codes.Overall, Stray Pearls is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian England. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.Thickly veiled, I looked at no one except that I curtsied my thanks to the Abbess before kneeling down by the grating looking into the choir. My grief had always been too deep for tears, and on that day I was blessed in a certain exaltation of thoughts which bore me onward amid the sweet chants to follow my Philippe, my brave, pure-hearted, loving warrior, onto his rest in Paradise, and to think of the worship that he was sharing there.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
