Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Moods
As the observation and experience of the woman have confirmed much that the instinct and imagi nation of the girl felt and tried to describe, I wish to give my first novel, with all its imperfections on its head, a place among its more successful sis ters; for into it went the love, labor, and enthusiasm that no later book can possess.
Several chapters have been omitted, several of the original ones restored; and those that remain have been pruned of as much fine writing as could be done without destroying the youthful spirit of the little romance. At eighteen death seemed the only solution for Sylvia's perplexities; but thirty years later, havmg learned the possibility of finding happiness after disappointment, and making love and duty go hand in hand, my heroine meets a wiser if less romantic fate than in the former edition.
