Restored, by J. Clark, 1862. Engraving of a painting. '...what charming studies of character are this father and daughter, going perhaps to, or coming from, church! If one could not see her amiable face, you could tell that the daughter is a sweet, unaffected, good-natured girl...Then, look at her father; what worth, what genuine English bonhomie there is in his face! He is advancing in life; his hair is iron-grey; but his heart is, beyond all doubt, still soft as wax, and he bears it openly as the simple wheat-ears he has plucked and placed in the buttonholes of his coat. Why, there is a heedful benevolence in his very umbrella. So, of course, they go out of their way to enjoy the pleasure of restoring themselves the little wicked one to the nest from which it has hardly yet apparently been missed. And what a look of appeal is there in the child's eyes as her mother comes to her with outstretched arms! The kitten is still held too tightly to permit the recognition yet of its sniffing mother. The older stay-at-home boy is now in turn abashed by the unexpected visitors, and, clinging to his mother's skirt, refers also to his forefinger'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
