Bøger af Hesba Stretton

Charles Dickens udsendte fra 1859 til sin død bladet "All the Year Round", der dels indeholdt Dickens egne værker, dels noveller og føljetoner af samtidens større og mindre ånder. Hvert år udkom der et "ekstra julenummer", der som regel indeholdt een lang fortælling, hvor Dickens skrev en rammehistorie, og en eller flere andre forfattere fyldte indhold på. Mrs. Lirripers arv er en af disse - en slags "2. del" af Mrs. Lirripers værelser - og stammer fra julenummeret 1864. Indhold: Mrs. Lirriper fortæller, hvorledes det gik hende, og hvorledes hun kom til at rejse udenlands. (Charles Dickens) Mrs. Lirriper får en meddelelse om, at en hende ubekendt person ligger for døden et sted i Frankrig, og at hun skal arve ham. Hun drager sammen med Jemmy og majoren afsted og tilbringer en "ferie" i byen Sens hos den døende. En forhenværende logerende fortæller en forunderlig historie om en doktor. (Charles Collins) Dr. Bertrand driver forretning ved at arrangere middagsselskaber for folk, der af den ene eller anden grund har besluttet at begå selvmord. Dagen efter at have deltaget i et sådant selskab er deltagerne døde. Den unge Alfred de Clerval, der lider af kærestesorger, beslutter at frekventere lægen. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller, hvad han oplevede som fattig slægtning. (Rosa Mulholland) Da en fattig slægtning indfinder sig på Rutland Hall for at indlogere sig hos sin rige fætter, finder han ikke andre hjemme end det invalide plejebarn Teecie Ray. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller, hvilket lod han trak i Glumper House. (Henry Spicer) Drengene på Glumper House er utilfredse med den noget særprægede forplejning. Noget må gøres, og man bliver enige om at henlede forældrenes opmærksomhed på problemet ved at lade en blandt sig stikke af og meddele sine forældre årsagen. Valget falder på Charles Trelawny, der fortæller om sine oplevelser som flygtning. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller sin egen spøgelseshistorie. (Amelia Edwards) På sin bryllupsrejse farer en jæger vild i en snestorm i det skotske højland. Han er dog så heldig at møde en tjener fra et nærliggende hus, hvor han får husly. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller sin mand visse begivenheder. (Hesba Stretton) Jane Scott fortæller, hvordan hun blev gift med sin højtelskede mand pastor Owen. Det er en noget mere dramatisk historie, end den stilfærdige fortællemåde lader ane. Mrs. Lirriper fortæller, hvorledes Jemmy sluttede. (Charles Dickens) Jemmy fortæller sin version af den afdødes levned.

1. The Christmas Child Miss Priscilla Parry, a passionately independent woman, lived on a farmstead and helped to raise her two nieces. Inspired by the Biblical Christmas story, the children Rhoda and Joan had a habit of visiting their barn manger every Christmas to look for a child. One day Rhoda mysteriously disappeared and a search began. The Christmas Child's message is to learn to forgive especially when it is very difficult to forgive. Luke 11:4-"And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us." 2. Alone in London An old man living in terrible poverty finds a little girl on his doorstep, takes her in, and discovers that she's his granddaughter. He barely has enough to live on, but he makes it do for the two of them, and is constantly delighted with the tiny child. A street urchin becomes part of their lives, and the three of them are very happy together. A beautiful and touching story about human kindness and love without any expectation of a reward.
