Author Description

Excerpt from Lady Patty, Vol. 1: A Sketch Good-by now, dearest. So glad to hear you are really returning for good in April. I always think poor dear Ireland such a ghastly place to live in. Sort of premature burial. Give my love to Tom. Ah! If I had only had a son! Such a blessing his regiment has been sent at last to so decent a place as Aldershot. You must take a house in town for the season. He can run up, or get leave, for a month or two. Fondest love, and a kiss from Helen, who is always so longing to meet you, her one aunt!
