Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life the Accuser, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
IT was Eliza's turn to read her father the morning Psalm. She hovered on the threshold of the drawing-room first and saw Old John sitting there; the cool airs blew through the windows, and he was tranquilly reading.
On the landing was Edward standing at his bedroom door, his hands in his pockets, and a frown on his brow. Circumstance was an ass to him, and, like Balaam, he had no further wisdom than to goad it. Seeing Eliza he came forward with a smile.
