Kingsworth; or, The Aim of a Life

Kingsworth; or, The Aim of a Life is a novella by Christabel R. Coleridge. Coleridge was an English novelist and an editor of girls' periodicals. Excerpt: «James Kingsworth was ordinarily callous and indifferent to the pain his transgressions caused to others, nor would he ever confess to the suffering they must frequently have caused himself. Now, however, he was evidently hit hard, the step his father had taken showed him how entirely his respect was forfeited; and though the brothers had never been otherwise than friendly, there was a gleam of distrust in James' eyes, which George felt to be unjustifiable.»
