Author Description

Excerpt from Pandora: A Novel "More beautiful than 'Pandora,' upon whom all the gods bestowed their gifts." The above quotation uttered, involuntarily, by the curate of our parish, upon first viewing my infantile charms, impressed a classical few of the congregation present with a sense of its incongruous, adaptability. They had come to see the minister's new baby, the little life which had cost him that of his wife, and to tender congratulatory sympathy to himself.
