Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Face of Death: A Westmoreland Story
There was a strange smile playing round the young girl's lips as she stood by the window waiting for her nurse's return her eyes were fixed on the scene Without - the valley beneath, and the hills beyond, Where the clouds were casting stray shadows, and hiding now one, and now another Of the distant peaks. She drew a long breath, it was scarcely a Sigh, yet there was something as like sadness as her bright face could ever wear, as she said to herself, The Winter will soon be here, those long, long evenings, those endless talks about nothing, and I shall not be able to keep out Of her way, as Alan said I must; no, I must see it and hear it and bear it as best I may. - Well, Nan, how did you get through the telling of it?
