Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Minister's Son, Vol. 2 of 3: Or Home With Honours
Ronald had been some time in India When a season of unusual heat fostered the dreaded cholera, that lurks so often, like a stealthy snake, about the dusty canton ments. With the epidemic came the usual incidents, - the helpless terror of a panic stricken few, the hasty flight, the terrifying rumours; and, on the other hand, quiet and disciplined courage, heroism of women, daily funerals, and rapidly-increasing graves.
