FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE STORY OF A MOTHERby Hans Christian AndersenA MOTHER sat by her little child; she was very sad, for she fearedit would die. It was quite pale, and its little eyes were closed,and sometimes it drew a heavy deep breath, almost like a sigh; andthen the mother gazed more sadly than ever on the poor littlecreature.

Save thatcity editors were irritated that the presidents of certainrailroads figured hastily on slips of paper, the fact that anold man and his millions would soon be parted, left New Yorkundisturbed....

Itis as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. And we know wellthat there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone. We havebroken the laws. The laws say that men may not write unless the Councilof Vocations bid them so. May we be forgiven!...

In my capacity as ChiefManager of a Life Assurance Office, I think I have within the lastthirty years seen more romances than the generality of men, howeverunpromising the opportunity may, at first sight, seem.As I have retired, and live at my ease, I possess the means that Iused to want, of considering what I have seen, at leisure. Myexperiences have a more remarkable aspect, so reviewed, than theyhad when they were in progress. I have come home from the Playnow, and can recall the scenes of the Drama upon which the curtainhas fallen, free from the glare, bewilderment, and bustle of the...
