Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Good-Bye
The crowded court was hushed and quiet - not a soul moved so much as a finger. The Judge, grave and stern, sat motionless - keen-eyed counsel were on the alert - fashionable ladies held their breath, while in some lovely eyes the scalding tears rose and fell fast over lovely cheeks out of pity for the unspeakable anguish on the face of the fair girl at the barrister's table below.
The awful stillness lasted but for a moment, and as the jury began to file into their box, a sound between a shiver and a sob crept through the Court, and all eyes turned toward those who had come to bring the verdict which, to three lives in that place, would be of far graver import than if it were one of life or death.
