Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Masollam; A Problem of the Period, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel
My difficulty was, interrupted Amina, with an affectionate glance at Santalba, to avoid loving those who lived in Paris, and whom I knew were not my real parents, more than those who lived in Damascus, and whose child I believed myself to be. Still my devo tion to, admiration for, and faith in Daoud Effendi were unbounded; and if I did not entertain'the same sentiments for my sup posed mother, she commanded my entire respect, not unmingled with a certain awe, and I believed that the reserve She ever mani fested towards me proceeded from a fear lest her'natural maternal affection should interfere with that higher love which she professed for the cause to which She had dedicated her life.
