Physically, the finger of the factory was already laid upon her vigorous young frame, but when Sunday morning came, though there was no bellowing whistle to break in on her slumbers, she waked early, and while nerve and muscle begged achingly for more sleep, she rose with a sense of exhilaration which nothing could dampen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
