Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vernon Grove, or Hearts as They Are: A Novel
There is no need to reiterate his command that while in that room, in no way resembling the others in his mansion, that cheerless, uncurtained room, in which are only papers, and maps, and a few books of reference upon the table, he may remain undisturbed, for the ser vants are too well trained to disobey an order once given, and in that lordly homestead there are no patter ing feet of children to break the stillness, no fond child ish cry of father, no silvery tinkling laughter.
