Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mornings at Matlock, Vol. 2 of 3
The Major was drowsy or musing, perhaps planning how best to carry on a campaign against the widow's heart and hand. Sir Julian was reported to be writing letters in another room happy man, to have any thing to occupy him. The ladies sat in solemn silence, engaged in the manufacture of some of the nick-nackeries on which the fair sex so often delight to expend their time and their ingenuity. The very lap dogs basked in the sun, and, as the newspaper paragraph-makers say, lazily sank into the arms of Morpheus.
