It is a thought-provoking and inspiring work of literature that has been praised for its depth and beauty.The moment she came to herself, apprehension changed into active dread, rushed into uncontrollable terror. She sprang to her feet, and, the worst thing she could do, fled like the wind after Tom-- now, indeed, she imagined, her only refuge! She knew where he had put up his horse, and knew he could hardly take any other way than the foot-path to Testbridge. He could not be more than a few yards ahead of her, she thought. Presently she heard him whistling, she was sure, as he walked leisurely along, but she could not see him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
