Author Description

Excerpt from Romance and Reality, Vol. 3 of 3 Edward paced the room mournfully: he gazed on the slight remains of taste which had turned wealth to beauty. But the most touching part of all, was to mark the effort that had been made to restore something Of comfort and appearance. He thought of the beautiful face he had seen for a moment - it looked yery young to have known much Of suffering. The door Of the room opened, and the negro appeared, bringing in supper; and the little table was soon spread. There was a ask of light wine, a melon, some bread, and fried fish. And with all the volubility Of his race, Caesar explained, that the ladies sent their excuses, and that to-morrow they hoped to make him personally welcome.
