Author Description

Excerpt from The Dean's Daughter, Vol. 2 of 2 A wretched race, indeed; justifying half that is urged against consanguineous alliances. I confess disliking her ladyship as much as you do-though not on the same grounds. I have never forgiven her neglect of Margaret, when left a friendless orphan. And if I needed more to make me detest her, it would be the aspect of Mildenhall Village; with its horde of little school-less savages, wallowing in winter in the mire, and dozing in summer in the shade. Your father built schools there. But the Mildenhalls, when they sold the next pre sentation to the living, exacted, -yes, positively exacted, - that the school-houses should be pulled down!
