Produktbeschreibung
Just at sunset, one bright spring day, the car that plies up and down the inclined plane leading from the foot of Main street up the hills to the Zoological Gardens, of Cincinnati, started to make the ascent with its load of precious human freight. The car was full of passengers, though not crowded, while among the occupants there were several young people, whose bright faces and animated manner bespoke how light of heart and free from care they were-what a gladsome, delightful place the world seemed to them. One young lady, who was seated about midway upon one side of the car, attracted especial attention. She was, perhaps, seventeen years of age, slight and graceful in form, with a lovely, piquant face, merry blue eyes, and a wealth of curling golden hair, that clustered about her white forehead in bewitching little rings.
Autorenporträt
Sarah Elizabeth Forbush Downs (1843-1926) was an American dime novelist". She wrote novels under her own name, as "Mrs. Georgie Sheldon" and "Mrs. George Sheldon Downs". Downs was born on June 5, 1843, in Wrentham, Massachusetts. Her parents were Edwin A. Forbush and Malvina F. (Ware) Forbush. She was educated at the Ladies' Collegiate Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. In 1868, she married George Sheldon Downs. She wrote under a pseudonym based on his name. In 1869, she began her career by contributing to newspapers. Theodore Dreiser signed her to write for Smith's Magazine. Dreiser regarded her as one of the "three most popular authors in the world." Lost-A Pearl, also known as A Lost Pearle, was one of Mrs. Georgie Sheldon's early publications, appearing in 1883. This story revolves around a young lady named Margaret Pearle Radcliffe, who is engaged to Captain Richard Byrnholm. However, she abandons her joyful marriage owing to the unscrupulous ways of Adison Cheatham, her fiancé's adversary, who has incriminating information that will tarnish the name of Byrnholm if Pearle does not marry Cheatham. The tale follows Pearle as she quickly distances herself from Cheatham and attempts to avoid her new husband's menacing gaze, never forgetting the guy she once loved.
