There was a smile on her lips; but her eyes told, plainly enough, that a cloud was upon her heart. Mrs. Wilkinson was sitting by a small work-table, in a neatly furnished room. It was evening, and a shaded lamp burned upon the table. Mr. Wilkinson, who had been reading, was standing on the floor, having thrown down his book and risen up hastily, as if a sudden purpose had been formed in his mind.

Autor

Timothy Shay Arthur, commonly known as T.S. Arthur, was a prominent American writer in the 19th century, best remembered for his influential works that addressed social issues of the time. Born on June 6, 1809, in Newburgh, New York, Arthur gained widespread recognition for his temperance novel Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There, which played a significant role in shaping public opinion against alcohol consumption. The novel vividly illustrated the destructive effects of alcohol, helping to advance the temperance movement in the United States. Arthur's writing often explored themes of morality, social reform, and the challenges facing individuals in their personal lives, particularly in relation to family and society. Throughout his career, Arthur wrote numerous novels, short stories, and articles that addressed issues such as domestic life, personal virtue, and the importance of moral responsibility. He passed away on March 6, 1885, at the age of 75 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, leaving behind a legacy of socially conscious literature that continues to be remembered for its impact on American culture and reform movements.
