Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ring in the New
She was staying at the house of a cousin, when the letter came to hand. The reading of it aloud produced no particular commotion at the breakfast-table. The cousin - twice removed - had too many daughters of her own to have much sorrow to spare for the woes of the clan at large.
Prue, for her part, failed to realise all that it meant. The Bohemian father had been reputed a man of means; the mother had kept her own counsel for fear of break ing the spirit of the child.
In her sojourn with the cousin since the mother's sudden death, Prue had lived in the substantial comfort and honour of the paying guest. Having started fairly with these things, she had taken them as matters of course. It was the nonchalance of the kitten, who, save in the way of kindness, has never yet felt the weight of a human hand.
