Westover of Wanalah: A story of love and life in Old Virginia
Eggleston, George Cary
Virginia -- Fiction
The occasion was rich in opportunities for Jack Towns, and, with the
alert energy which was characteristic of him, he made the most of them.
When, two days later, he left for Boston as Millicent's escort, there
was no room for doubt in anybody's mind as to the outcome of his visit
to the blue hills of Milton.
It was a month later, and winter had begun, when Westover and
Margaret--just entering the house--went to the clock and set it going.
She said something--no matter what. He said nothing, but gathering her
head to his breast, he caressed her. Words seemed superfluous.
THE END.
The Potter and the Clay
A Romance of To-day
By MAUD HOWARD PETERSON. Illustrated by Charlotte Harding. l2mo,
decorated cloth, $1.50
A strong and impressive story--one of the most forceful of recent
novels by a new author of promise and ability. The motive is love
versus loyalty; the characters are alive and human; the plot is
puzzling, and the action is remarkably vivid.
A Carolina Cavalier
A Romance of the Revolution
By GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON. Illustrated by C. D. Williams. 12mo, cloth,
rough edges, gilt top, $1.50
This is a historical romance of love, loyalty, and fighting. The action
passes in South Carolina during the stormy days of British invasion, in
the region once made famous by Simms and not touched since his day. It
is full of vigor, plot, and action. Tories and patriots, war and
adventure, love and valor crowd its pages and hold the reader's
attention from first to last.
The Little Green Door
_By MARY E. STONE BASSETT_
Eight illustrations by _Louise Clarke_ and twenty-five decorative
half-title pages by _Ethel Pearce Clements_
12mo Cloth $1.50
A charming romance of the time of Louis XIII. The door which gives the
title to the book leads to a beautiful retired garden belonging to the
King. In this garden is developed one of the sweetest and tenderest
romances ever told. The tone of the book is singularly pure and
elevated, although its power is intense.
"This is a tale of limpid purity and sweetness, which, although its
action is developed amid the intrigues and deceptions of a corrupt
French court, remains fine and delicate to the end. There is power as
well as poetry in the little romance, so delicate in
conception."--_Chicago Daily News_.
"Tender, sweet, passionate, pure; a lily from the garden of
loves."--_Baltimore Herald_.
"The story is exquisitely pure and tender, possessing a finished
daintiness that will charm all clean-minded persons."--_Louisville
Courier-Journal_.
"This book carries with it all the exhilaration of a beautiful nature,
of flowers, birds, and living things, and the beauty of a winsome
personality of a pure, beautiful girl. It is a romance entirely of the
fancy, but a refreshing one."--_Chicago Tribune_.
"The little romance is charmingly wrought, and will be sure to find its
way to the heart of the reader."--_Boston Transcript_.
