Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Surgeon's Daughter
Nay, my darling daughter, answered the nun, comfort yourself; for in all I can aid you, be assured I will. My means are somewhat more, than my present situation may express, and, be assured, they shall be tried to the uttermost. Methinks I still hear that lay which you sung to the other sisters and myself, although I alone, touched by feelings kindred to yours, had the address to comprehend that it told your own tale. I am yet surprised, said Augustine, speaking beneath her breath, how I had the boldness to sing in your ears the lay, which, in fact, was the history Of my disgrace.
