Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The King of Kerisal
Mrs. Millingham, sitting under the syca more after her placid summer custom, dropped three stitches in succession. This was portentous; so was the ?ush on her cheek, and a slight - a very slight air of mutiny among her cap ribbons. Small things made ripples in the Chescote backwater; and the event of to-day was not a small thing, but one that inv'olved the future life and happiness of her only daughter. She glanced to where a rest less figure, seen behind roses and a box hedge, was disturbing the designs of the thrushes at the strawberry-beds.
