Her father, John Collis Nesbit, died before she was four years old, and her sister Mary was super sick, so her family traveled a lot. Edith married Paul Bland when she was eighteen years old, and seven months pregnant. Her husband cheated on her with her friend, and she eventually adopted the baby, while Alice became their housekeeper. She had three children Iris, Fabian, and Rosamund. Fabian died at fifteen after a tonsil operation. She died in East Kent in 1924, probably from lung cancer and was buried at St. Mary in the Marsh.]]> 2017-04-18 14:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hamilhai/o9ar94wgdh3p/wish/166770916 Link to The Ebony Frame hamilhai https://padlet.com/hamilhai/o9ar94wgdh3p/wish/166782087 Story: http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0602551h.html]]> 2017-04-18 15:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hamilhai/o9ar94wgdh3p/wish/166782087 Suspense hamilhai https://padlet.com/hamilhai/o9ar94wgdh3p/wish/166997522 Example from Text: " It was of fine ebony, beautifully and curiously carved.

Mildred says she I ghost, he will eventually forget her, things about her, but she will be there, waiting to remind him that she is still there.
The Sublime: "As I sprang up the steps, I saw, as in a dream, yes, all this was really dream-like, I saw Mildred leaning out of the first-floor window, wringing her hands." He leaped into the burning house so he could save the picture(aka: the lady in the picture)
Mystery: "And then I will come out of the picture, and never go back to it. I shall live with you, and die, and be buried, and there will be an end of me. But we shall live first, my heart's heart." She (the lady in the picture) is somehow going to come alive and be outside of the frame, so that they could be together.
Death: "Mistress only bought it two days before she was took ill," she said; "but the frame? she didn't want to buy a new one? so she got this out of the attic. There's lots of curious old things there, sir." Before his aunt died she bought a new painting, but used a frame from a different picture.
Justice: "How did they save me? What does that matter? They saved me somehow, curse them." The firemen saved him, and everything else in the house burned.
Dreams: "There are no words to express the sense of glad reunion, the complete realization of every hope and dream of a life, that came upon me as I sat with my hand in hers, and looked into her eyes." He dreams about her (the lady in the picture) and how he should be with her. ]]> 2017-04-20 13:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hamilhai/o9ar94wgdh3p/wish/167247368 Google Arts + Culture Link hamilhai https://padlet.com/hamilhai/o9ar94wgdh3p/wish/167258469 https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/u/0/search?q=The%20Ebony%20Frame ]]> 2017-04-20 13:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hamilhai/o9ar94wgdh3p/wish/167258469
