No person of Sanchia's acquaintance had suffered more than he by her desperate affair.

Her sisters knew very little about her, her mother nothing. It had been Senhouse who had called up the spirit that was in her--that extraordinary candour of vision which shrank from the judgment of nothing in heaven or earth ""upon the merits.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
