Excerpt from The Three Eras of Woman's Life: A Novel But now an awful visitant was there. Death had laid his hand on the beloved, the revered, parent. For her, time had sounded his last note, and she was whispering her dying counsels in the ear of the fair creature who knelt by her side.

Sorrow and watching had dimmed the brilliance of its colouring; but the eye of holy blue, the noble brow, the polished forehead, the glittering hair dis playing its golden luxuriance as it hun neglected and un bound - were still there.
