Excerpt from Mrs. Reynolds and Hamilton: A Romance
At sixty years of age Doctor Priestley bade his married daughter adieu - his first - born child.
Sarah played with her father's changing ringlets and nursed his head upon her shoulder, the tears coming out as her eyes tried to smile.
"Harry," she said to her brother, "be very kind to father, and study to be a preacher like him. You will be sure to come back, because you are so young; but he - oh, cruel, cruel, to take this old, soft head away! - I may never see him again!"
"Daughter, there is a bridge above our heads that spans the ocean - heaven. We shall walk across it into the fast piers of each other's arms, if we persevere."
"Oh! I shall hear your voice until I die; but, taken from me before death, all gentle and breathing as I see you, with every brother going also, it seems as if the righteous are forsaken and the scoffer's boast is true."
"Sarah, we are to go to a land where there can be no more controversy," said Mrs. Priestley; "what profit is there in it all I hoped your father would minister to his own fold, keep his own heart pure, and let all his metaphysics be natural philosophy. Now I see him rejected by Britain, while Lavoisier is safe in bloodstained France."
Do not upbraid father," pleaded Sarah.
