Secret Service: Being the Happenings of a Night in Richmond in the Spring of 1865
Brady, Cyrus Townsend
Richmond (Va.) -- Fiction; Virginia -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865 -- Fiction; War stories
There was much opposition, of course, to the wedding of Captain Thorne
and Edith Varney, and many bitter things were said, but there was no
restraining the young people. They had lived and suffered, they had
almost died together. The years of peace and harmony and friendship that
came to the sections at last, and the present happiness that was theirs
immediately, convinced even the most obdurate that what they had done
was exactly right.
