Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mrs. Cliff's Yacht
But now she was left absolutely free and inde pendent, untrammelled, uncounselled, alone with her wealth.
She rose and looked out of the window, and, as she gazed upon the crowd which swept lip and down the beautiful avenue, she could not but smile as she thought that she, a plain New England countrywoman, with her gray hair brushed back from her brows, with hands a little hardened and roughened with many a year of household duties, which had been to her as much a pleasure as a labor, was, in all probability, richer than most of the people who sat in the fine carriages or strolled in their fashionable clothes along the sidewalk.
