“The want of punctuality is a want of honest principle; for however people may think themselves authorised to rob God and themselves of their own time, they can plead no right to lay a violent hand on the time and duties of their neighbor.”
Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna

Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, Helen Fleetwood

Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, Helen Fleetwood
