Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Haunted by a Shadow
Frank. Yes, mother, it is indeed Willie - the rover - returned with plenty of money. Mother dear, you shall never want again while life and strength are mine.
Mrs. W. But why did you not write, Willie? I have not heard a word from you in three years.
Frank. Mother, -i have been a prisoner among the indians during 111 that time, and while with them, I discovered a rich gold claim. I escaped, led a party of Speculators to the Spot, and sold my claim for enough to make as independent for the rest of our lives. So you see, I owe my good fortune to my capture by the savages. But, mother, what of Nora Dean? Has she forgotten her boy-lover, yet?
Mrs W. Ah no, Willie! She has grown to be a most beautiful woman; the prettiest girl in the city, and the belle of her circle; but I know that she still thinks of you. She is in her room. I will send her in, for you must see her. (exit, R.
Frank. So far, all right! N ow, if the girl can be deceived as easily, I am certainly a lucky dog.
