Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notice to Quit, Vol. 1 of 3
Ruth, her sister, was of an opposite cast of character, developed, if not formed, by the circumstances of her early home. For Nature still adapts the disposition to the requirements of situation, just as, for its safety, she colours the snipe's back like the sod in which it lurks, and the woodpecker takes the hues of its branch.
