Publisher's Synopsis
At the sight of her son Judith's eyes and mouth broke into the loveliest smile that anymember of the Herries family, there present, had ever seen. It was Judith Paris' hundredth birthday. The Family was making a Presentation. Adam bent down and kissed her. Her tiny, trembling hand rested on the velvet collar of his coat then lay against his cheek. Her triumph was complete; her exceeding happiness overflowed so that, laughing though she was, tears rolled down her cheeks.
