description: Excerpt from The Athelings: or The Three Gifts: Now, said Agnes, throwing down her pen with a cry of triumph now, look here, everybody, it is done at last.And, indeed, there it was upon the fair and legible page, in Agnes' best and clearest handwriting, The End. She had written it with girlish delight, and importance worthy the occasion; and with admit ing eyes mamma and Marian looked upon the momentous words - The End! So now it was no longer in progress, to be smiled and wondered over, but an actual thing, accomplished and complete, out of anybody's power to check or to alter. The three came together to look at it with a little awe. It was actually finished - out of hand - an entire and single production. The last chapter was to be read in the family committee to-night - and then? They held their breath in sudden excitement. What was to be done with the Book, which could be smiled at no longer! That momentous question would have to be settled tonight.About the Publisher: Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com.
