Book Description
Excerpt from Thro' Love and War, Vol. 1 of 3 And, indeed, in order to become really interest ing, apart from the interest which is attached to a charming exterior, Lucy Barlow, in common with every other heroine of romance, should pass through and become purified in the furnace of affliction. This grand crucial test of character, however, is as independent of caste, as it is of locality, and it is possible to be quite as miserable upon Clapham Common as anywhere else. My story Opens upon a wet afternoon in early summer - one of the first wet days following upon a long season of drought, and seeming, therefore, except to such persons as were anxious about their crops, all the more gloomy and unbearable from the contrast to its predecessors.

Excerpt from In Love and War: A Romance "He's ta'en her by the milk-white hand, And by the grass-green sleeve. He's mounted her high behind himsel', At her kinsmen spear'd na leave." Katherine Janfarie. "Bring out the hounds, Nicol," shouted Sir Hugh Janfarie. the Knight of Johnstone Tower, to his second son; and then to one of his men: "You fetch me a burning sod. It shall be a Hot Trod, and by the Sacred Mother a hotter trod than has been known on the Border this while." He mounted his horse and took his place at the head of his men; a leash of hounds was brought from the kennel, and the party started at a round pace. Nicol rode in advance, carrying a burning turf on the point of a spear, to denote to all men that they had declared hue and cry against a marauder, and that they were in hot pursuit. The fiery symbol of their purpose, according to the law of the Marches, protected them from interruption so long as they molested none save the enemy they pursued. The same law doomed to death any who might attempt to bar the way of those who, with proper reason, were following the track of an offender. Katherine Janfarie, Sir Hugh's only daughter, and Sir Bertrand Gordon, the Laird of Lamington, were the offenders, and the objects of this fierce pursuit.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Spirit of Love, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel The other persons at the table were a young man and a young woman. These were the Dean's children by his first wife, Lady Elizabeth. The girl was a tall straight creature, with a clear pink-and-white complexion, pale gold hair, and bright blue eyes like her father's. Her features also resembled his, but were smaller and prettier. The young man's resemblance to his father was not pronounced. The colouring, and the cast of the features, were different, the single point of likeness being the mouth, the Dean's worst feature, which, in the son as in the father, was large and full, with the under lip curving deeply outwards.
