Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dollars and Duty
Silver pane, on the whole sash, through into the little room, and warming it more than the fresh started fire of wood that was snapping on the hearth. But - prettiest touch of all in the rising sun - he shed his luster all over the graceful form of the writer herself, burnishing' her gray locks as they waved about her brow, freshening her pallor with the hues almost of girlhood, for the instant, and painting her into such a charm ing picture, that the man, who alone saw it, paused, Speechless, with the door-knob yet in his hand. Then, very softly, with slippered feet, the gentleman drew near her. The sunrise was impartial: indeed there was splendor enough for them both; enough to touch his somber study gown into color, to fire his strong, scholarly face with a smile not its own; enough to adorn his gray hairs, above an expansive brow which made you think of the Open sky; enough sunlight was there, had he been so disposed, and had he carried a real pen in his fingers, to have enabled him to write, also, MY beautiful boy.
