Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tancredi: A Tale of the Opera; A Novel
The wounded youth, Jarl the Miller's Boy, as he was called, was raised to his feet, and it was found that his right arm was frightfully lacerated.
His face was ashy pale, but he uttered no word of distress. There was something wicked and startling in the proud bearing of his compact, graceful form, blemished though it was by torn garb and mangled arm. There was a look of mingled hate and defiance in his pallid face as he glared on the fierce brute now being dragged away by the servant, - a look so strik ing in its wild brave beauty that would attract the attention of the most indifferent looker-on.
