Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Robber, Vol. 2 of 3: A Tale
Alice Herbert, for to her we must now tui'n, - sat by the bed-side of her father, on the morning of that day, the eventful passing of which we have already commemorated in the end of the last volume, as far as it affects the greater part of the characters connected with this tale. There was joy and brightness upon her counte nance and in the small and beautiful hand that rested on her lap she held open the packet of papers which had been left for her by Langford. She gazed in the countenance of her father with a look of eager and gratified affection, which gave to her lovely features a look of additional loveli ness, and added the crowning beauty to the beauty of the whole. Her voice, too, sweet and melodious as it always was, seemed, at least to her father's ears, to have a more musical tone than ever, as she told him, with a heart thrilling with joy and satisfaction at having such news to tell.
