Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Fatal Secret

Fob nearly twenty years the writer of the following pages has been shut out from all the bright beauties with which Nature gladdens the soul and invigorates the mind, ex cluded from all that pleases the vision, and left to gather, as well as she might in the darkness, the glittering baubles of pleasure that were scattered about her.

Alone in my thickly-curtained chamber, a faint light came gleaming, the heavy pall which the external gloom had shadowed upon my heart was drawn aside, and a sweet 'voice was heard in the midnight darkness: I will bring thee joys such as thy noonday knew not, and smiles of peaceful satisfaction shall reward thee for the labor of love. Then memory, unguided, wandered back, o'er the grass grown path that lay half concealed upon the mountain side, and on the sandy plains, or wound along upon the bank of some yawning gulf, or descended into the cool and silent valley, where the alluring waters bubbled and the fragile forget-me-not looked up and smiled, as the weary footsteps hurried by.
