Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Misadventure, Vol. 3 of 3
I know very well, my dear, that you are keeping something back from me. I am not inquisitive and I do not ask for your confidence, still you might remember that I have always loved you as if you were my own child, though you may never have looked upon me as any substitute for your mother. Cicely could only declare that she was concealing nothing and had said all that there was to say. She was sorry to appear unkind; but there was no help for it. As a confidante, Aunt Susan really would not do. As soon as possible she made her escape, and, returning to her Old post in the garden, gave herself up once more to moralizing of a sad and cynical character.
