| 1 | Author: | Wilkins, Mary E. | Add | | Title: | The Three Old Sisters and the Old Beau | | | Published: | 1996 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | THE three old sisters, Rachel and Nancy and Camilla, lived in the
house in which they had been born. They were very old in
years—the youngest was nearly seventy—but they were, after all,
the most youthful maidens in the village. Not a child dragging her
doll-carriage past their windows, not a young girl strolling by in
the twilight on her lover's arm, was as young as they, for the
youth in them had actually triumphed over age, and gained, as it
were, a species of immortality in this world. | | Similar Items: | Find |
