Author Description

Excerpt from A Ward in Chancery: A Novel The interior was worthy of the outside. There was an air of perennial youth about the mansion and its replenishing, which bespoke incessant cleaning, studious preservation, and frequent renewals. Yet a certain sense of oppression pervaded the spotless passages and apart ments, for one shrank with horror from the probability of carrying dust into those sacred precincts, or leaving a trace of mud on the immaculate mats.
