There is a white marble monument in the middle of the chancel, raised by
the loving hands of two brothers far away in Australia. It is by the best
sculptor of the day, and on it lies a pale white figure, with a pure
delicate profile, and hands always meekly crossed upon the bosom.
Every Sunday, as Eustace Daintree passes from his place at the
reading-desk up to the altar to read the Communion Service, there falls
upon it a streak of sunshine from the painted window above, which he
himself and his wife had put up to her memory, lighting up the pale
marble image with a chequered glory of gold and crimson. And the vicar's
eye as he passes alights for a moment with a never-dying sadness upon the
simple words carved at the foot of her tomb--
Vera Nevill, aged 23.
AT PEACE.

"Mrs. Cameron's numerous efforts in the line of fiction have
won for her a wide circle of admirers. Her experience in novel
writing, as well as her skill in inventing and delineating characters,
enables her to put before the reading public stories that
are full of interest and pure in tone."--_Harrisburg Telegraph_.
