Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters From Samoa 1891-1895
Nor is it by chance that in these letters R. L. S. Appears only as the beloved son. With instinctive tact his mother avoided that public life Which she felt was not wholly hers to deal with, and to which others had a directer claim than she. To those others she was content to leave the novelist and writer, for all her pride and joy in his success; and to keep for herself, and for those who would read her letters, the memory of the little son, the delicate, greatly beloved child of so many anxious bygone years. That, at least, was her own, and remained with her to the end; for if there were a 'dear resting place' to be left behind on Vaea Mountain, there was no less dear a memory still waiting to meet her in the grey and wind-swept Edinburgh streets, which were her home, and his.
