Excerpt from Nathalie, Vol. 3 of 3: A Tale There was nothing querulous or complaining in the character of Nathalie. She was not patient she might often revolt against her fate, but she disdained to lament it. Her nature was too fiery and too vehement ever to verge into the weakness of repining. She had poured out her heart to Rose, because it was then full even to overflowing; the confidence had relieved her, but having once told her sister all with the most unreserved freedom, she thought this sufficient, and did not so much as dream of again renewing the subject. Rose was surprised; she had not expected this. She watched her sister anxiously. Nathalie was certainly pale and did not seem in good health; but her features were more serious than sad.
