Strona 887 z 1294

She was naturally of a gay, lively and peace-loving disposition,

but from continual failures and misfortunes she had come to

desire so keenly that all should live in peace and joy and should

not dare to break the peace, that the slightest jar, the smallest

disaster reduced her almost to frenzy, and she would pass in an

instant from the brightest hopes and fancies to cursing her fate

and raving, and knocking her head against the wall.
