Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dorothy Firebrace, Vol. 3 of 3: Or the Armourer's Daughter of Birmingham
It was, besides, a really very fine day; the sky of a lovely warm blue, with an atmosphere of that brilliant transparency which produces all the colouring of nature in the most vivid contrasts and effects. The rich, brew like scent from gorse and broom came wafted constantly to Edward's sense on a playful breeze. Deer frolicked in all the glades, bees hummed on the yellow and purple bloom rabbits and hares showed their startled, globular eyes at every turn among the deep grass and fern. No, it was not a day - it was not a scene - for a youthful bridegroom to believe in misfortune.
These pleasant impressions continued on Edward's first arrival at the Hall. His approach up the great avenue startled two rustic lovers who were met in fond tryste at a stile leading into the Park, and who proved on inspection to be Robin Falconer and Phoebe Dew snap, a favourite and vivacious waiting-maid of his sister.
