Excerpt from Clumber Chase; Or Love's Riddle Solved by a Royal Sphinx, Vol. 3 of 3: A Tale of the Restoration

Eight months had passed since Mrs. Phillipa Broderick's death, and nine since her nephew's most mysterious disappearance, and not the slightest tidings had been heard of the latter; the outside world had even ceased to wonder, or to conjecture on the subject, and so had passed on, as is its wont, to utter oblivion about him; for it is astonishing, or rather would be so, if the fact were not as old as creation itself, by what easy and pleasant stages the said world travels swiftly away from all the misfortunes and miseries of others, and never loses its time in tarrying by the way, to read the epitaphs of defunct destinies. It has been said that love cannot exist without hope; but this, like all other rules, has its exceptions; for Dorothy had long ceased to hope, but she had by no means ceased to love.
