Nelly: or, The Best Inheritance


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.4 stars; 6 reviews)

This little story is written to illustrate the value of honesty and faithfulness in small and great matters. Nelly's earnings may possibly be considered rather large for a girl of her age; but a lady of much experience, to whom I referred the matter, assures me that they are not exaggerated, and that a perfectly trustworthy clerk is worth almost any price to his or her employers. A woman mostly confined to the bed and sofa earned, in three years, nearly seven hundred dollars by doing the finer and more elaborate kinds of tatting. - Summary by Lucy Ellen Guernsey (4 hr 5 min)
