Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lost Little Lady
T noon, on a bright morning in the summer A of 1863, the huge doorman of the Astor House hurried down to meet a splendid carriage just drawing up to the curb in front of the hotel.
Two boys, who had been sweeping the side walk, speedily spread a strip of red velvet carpet across the pavement and up the steps, falling over each other in their effort to accomplish this task in time. A porter, followed by a bellboy, rushed out, taking up positions where they could afford instant service, and a bustle of excitement seemed to indicate that the occupant of the gorgeous equipage was no ordinary mortal.
