Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Country Quarters, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
Where is Vernon demanded more than one of his brother officers; an inquiry that elicited the information that the missing gentleman had ordered some mutton broth to his room. What a transition did this intelligence create in Mordant's feelings! It revealed the whole history of Vernon's blighted hopes, and, as he pictured him to his mind in the solitude of his room, too sad and depressed to meet the eyes of his brother officers, he felt all his friendship for him revive, and the deepest sympathy take the place of the envy which, in spite of his better feelings, had previously taken posses sion of him.
