Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Honor Carmichael, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study
Their daughters are graceful and fair (one afterwards married the Duc de Pro vence, and the other an anglo-indian Officer, whose fortunes she followed in peace and in war). They are well spoken of far and near, highly respected, greatly esteemed; but the memory of the Old family is still fondly cherished, and their absence is still deeply deplored - at least, so says Madame Pleon; and it may be true, for it is the way of the world not to know when it is well off, and to waste itself in unending regrets. DO you wonder what all this has to do with Honor Carmichael? How the his tory of that old chateau in Provence can affect the simple story of a London clergy man's child? Wait and see.
