Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Samuel Sharpe: Egyptologist and Translator of the Bible Of the elder half-sister from home the whole stress of devoted and exclusive attendance upon them fell on their mother. She would not spoil her step daughter's holiday by telling her of their illness, and the anxiety proved too much for her. While they were yet ill another boy was born, She herself took the fever and died - probably by misadventure in the wrong administration of medicine - when the child was little more than a fortnight old. The loss of his wife weighed heavily on the father's Spirits, and five months later, when his bankers, who were his children's uncles, had been obliged to tell him that he was ruined, he was found dead in his brewery, leaving one younger daughter and five sons to the care of their elder sister, who was the sole surviving issue of the earlier marriage.
