Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Arsareth: A Tale of the Luray Caverns
This Virginia girl, over whose golden hair twenty summers have shed their warmth, is deserving of our attention. While she stands looking on the stream at her feet, but observing no feature of brook or field or sky, we will take the liberty to study her, for if there ever was a girl whose face was an index of her soul, that girl was Alice Davis. In that State, noted for its graceful girls and stately ladies, Alice would not be called beautiful; but on a sec ond look there would be something manifest in her, such a forceful character looking out of every feature, as cannot be expressed by the word beauty even as it is far above it. In her blue eyes there is manifest a strength of pur pose, that can readily be Observed even when her whole nature is, as on the present occasion, in repose. The lower part Of her face indicates firmness, and one would not look twice at her to form an Opinion that he was looking at one who possessed a resolute mind and a fearless spirit.
