Pauline's Passion and Punishment by Louisa May Alcott Pdf

Pausing in her troubled march, she swept away the curtain swaying in the wind and looked out, asif imploring help from Nature, the great mother of us all. A summer moon rode high in a cloudlessheaven, and far as eye could reach stretched the green wilderness of a Cuban cafetal. No forest, but atropical orchard, rich in lime, banana, plantain, palm, and orange trees, under whose protectiveshade grew the evergreen coffee plant, whose dark-red berries are the fortune of their possessor, andthe luxury of one-half the world. Wide avenues diverging from the mansion, with its belt of brilliantshrubs and flowers, formed shadowy vistas, along which, on the wings of the wind, came a breath offar-off music, like a wooing voice; for the magic of night and distance lulled the cadence of aSpanish contradanza to a trance of sound, soft, subdued, and infinitely sweet. It was a southern scene, but not a southern face that looked out upon it with such unerring glance; there was no southernlanguor in the figure, stately and erect; no southern swarthiness on fairest cheek and arm; nosouthern darkness in the shadowy gold of the neglected hair; the light frost of northern snowslurked in the features, delicately cut, yet vividly alive, betraying a temperament ardent, dominant, andsubtle. For passion burned in the deep eyes, changing their violet to black. Pride sat on the forehead, with its dark brows; all a woman's sweetest spells touched the lips, whose shape was a smile; and inthe spirited carriage of the head appeared the freedom of an intellect ripened under colder skies, theenergy of a nature that could wring strength from suffering, and dare to act where feebler soulswould only dare desir

Pauline's Passion and Punishment by Louisa May Alcott Pdf

To and fro, like a wild creature in its cage, paced that handsome woman, with bent head, lockedhands, and restless steps. Some mental storm, swift and sudden as a tempest of the tropics, hadswept over her and left its marks behind. As if in anger at the beauty now proved powerless, allornaments had been flung away, yet still it shone undimmed, and filled her with a passionate regret.A jewel glittered at her feet, leaving the lace rent to shreds on the indignant bosom that had worn it;the wreaths of hair that had crowned her with a woman's most womanly adornment fell disorderedupon shoulders that gleamed the fairer for the scarlet of the pomegranate flowers clinging to thebright meshes that had imprisoned them an hour ago; and over the face, once so affluent in youthfulbloom, a stern pallor had fallen like a blight, for pride was slowly conquering passion, and despairhad murdered hope.

Pauline's Passion and Punishment by Louisa May Alcott Pdf

A pretty girl, forgetting propriety in interest, pointed as they passed. Manuel half-bowed to the audible compliment, and the blushing damsel vanished, but Pauline had not seen."Jack, there's the owner of the black span you fell into raptures over. My lord and lady look as highbred as their stud. We'll patronize them!"Manuel muttered a disdainful "Impertinente!" between his teeth as he surveyed a brace of dandies with an air that augured ill for the patronage of Young America, but Pauline was unconscious of both criticism and reproof. A countercurrent held them stationary for a moment, and close behind them sounded a voice saying, confidentially, to some silent listener, "The Redmonds are here tonight, and I am curious to see how he bears his disappointment. You know he married for money, and was outwitted in the bargain; for his wife's fortune not only proves to be much less than he was led to believe, but is so tied up that he is entirely dependent upon her, and the bachelor debts he sold himself to liquidate still harass him, with a wife's reproaches to augment the affliction. To be ruled by a spoiled child's whims is a fit punishment for a man whom neither pride nor principle could curb before. Let us go and look at the unfortunate."
