Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Next?: Or, the Honest Thief
You will allow me in the course of this introductory chapter to my novelette, to mention the difference in the style of the titles worn by what are called the bet ter class of society in the old world, and the passports which are necessarily worn by people seeking admis sion into good society in the American Republic. Bear in mind also please, that I am speaking as though I were living in the century when Mary Call was first discovered as only a girl, an undeveloped woman, in the fort at Boonesboro, possibly holding the door of the fort ajar, for the speedier ingress of some wounded member of the fort, who is trying to escape being again wounded by a pursuing Indian, whose war cry is, Death to the pale face.
