Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Felicia: A Novel
The Reverend Robert Raymond prided him self, in a seemly and clerical fashion, on his tact. So innocent and candid was this endowment as he possessed it that it was distinctly apparent, and the disafiected of the congregation construed him as a scheming man, unduly versed in the ways of the world for a clergyman. Among the persons who interpreted him more justly was a young girl, who sat near him, one summer morn ing, in a large parlor on the shady side of the house. The welcome watering-carts rumbled up and down the street, giving to the air the taste of sudden showers the breeze waved the curtains, stirred the plants in the balcony, and waited freshly into the room the odors of heliotrope and geranium.
