Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Handsome Humes, Vol. 2 of 3
She was seated in the garden; a book lay open on her lap; her face was in shadow, save for the soft suffusion of light re ?ected upwards from the masses of ?owers aglow in the sun; her eyes were plunged in a profound reverie. It was not a common mood with Nan Summers, who was naturally gay of heart; nor had it escaped the ever-watchful observation of her father. On this occasion he came along the garden path in a casual kind of way, as if he were chie?y occupied with the peonies, the columbine and larkspur.
