Book Description
Excerpt from Hester Kirton He followed the old farmer along the stone passage into the kitchen a coarse cloth was spread on the table, garnished with green-handled knives and forks, and common white plates and dishes. But Mr. Hallam's attention was attracted by a young girl who stood at her place on one side of the table, evidently waiting for them. He bowed, and she made a sort of movement in return. Mr. Kirton did not seem to think any introduction necessary, but pointed to a seat opposite his daughter, whom he called Hester.
