Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from At Her Mercy, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
The great gates of the modern park (it was once a chase) stand close to Seymour's Home, in the very centre of the hamlet, and are open night and day to all comers. Thus without descending from their high placed Paradise, the happy Dunwich folks can pass from their own doors into a world of verdurous dip, and upland, with groves of stately oak, and dells of fern, where the couched deer, accustomed to such harmless visitors, scarce lift their branching heads to watch them pass. Here and there, beneath some spreading tree, or on some hillock whence the leafy avenue prolongs itself to one green arbour, and seems to meet at last, are rustic seats for whispering lovers made, or at all events such intention is taken for granted.
