DORA DEANE,
OR,
THE EAST INDIA UNCLE
CHAPTER I.
DORA AND HER MOTHER.
Poor little Dora Deane! How utterly wretched and desolate she was,
as she crouched before the scanty fire, and tried to warm the
little bit of worn-out flannel, with which to wrap her mother's
feet; and how hard she tried to force back the tears which would
burst forth afresh whenever she looked upon that pale, sick
mother, and thought how soon she would be gone!
It was a small, low, scantily furnished room, high up in the third
story of a crazy old building, which Dora called her home, and its
one small window looked out on naught save the roofs and spires of
the great city whose dull, monotonous roar was almost the only
sound to which she had ever listened.
