Excerpt from Dominic
I am glad, my dear child, that the beauty of Nature makes so deep an impression upon you, answered Baron Brandenstein; and as we have an infinite variety of charming scenery before us, I promise you many such pleasant surprises.
But surely nothing can be more beautiful than what is here before us! Said the young girl, with a wondering glance at her father.
Wait a few minutes, said her father, smiling rather mysteriously. Driver, will we not soon be at the top of the hill?
His inquiry was addressed to the postilion, who was walking near his horses and urging them now and then by his voice to a quicker pace. He turned when the baron spoke to him, and nodded pleasantly.
