Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maidenhood, Vol. 3 of 3
She called first at The Pines, and, after some pre liminary conversation, asked Miss Fortescue to visit her for a short time. This invitation was at once accepted and then Miss Barrymore tried to borrow a copy of Sir Charles Grandison, and succeeded in that also. After making some other calls, she rode across the Park back to her splendid home, and felt lonely and sad-hearted as she then recalled her dear and absent brother.
Sir Hildebrand returned from his drive in high spirits. He had seen Mr. Hamilton, and that gentle man had expressed himself very much gratified with Sir Hildebrand's report.
Miss Barrymore, in the solitude of her own chamber, confessed she did not feel gratified with the state of things at that moment. But as she could not change or alter the course of events, she wisely made up her mind to meet them with becoming courage.
