Author Description

Excerpt from The Vicar of Wrexhill, Vol. 3 of 3 When this composition was completed, Mr. Cartwright turned the desk to his lady, laid a fair sheet of blank paper before her, put a pen into her hand, drew the wax-lights near her, and then set about sipping the negus she had so kindly prepared for him, without ap pearing to think it at all necessary to ask her opinion of the document she was about to copy. Being, however, rather new to the yoke into which it had pleased her to thrust her head, she took the liberty of reading it. A slight augmentation of colour was perceived on her delicate cheek as she proceeded, by the watch ful eye of her husband, as he turned it towards her, over the top of the beautifully cut goblet he held in his hand. But he nibbled a biscuit, and said nothing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
