Author Description

Excerpt from The Heron's Plume All this was bad enough to Mr. Collinton, who felt that he should have to refund poor J ames's fortune. But what had gone before was not the worst; the letter went on to say, that there were two children. The father called them dear and pretty children. A boy of thirteen, and a girl of eleven, just left motherless, and without means Of education - and these would be, he said, on their way to England before the letter could reach their uncle. They would be sent under the charge of the little girl's god-mother, Mrs. Storer, who intended to reside in town, and would, on their arrival, be forwarded immediately to their uncle.
