Alas Quote by Hannah Whitall Smith

“I shall be glad to see thee back, daughter, for I miss thee dreadfully. I wish I did not! I was taking a nap in my chair today, and I thought I heard thee rustling thy papers, and I looked over at thy table expecting to see thee, and alas! thee was not there, and it was dreadful.” quote by Hannah Whitall Smith — Download Open image
