Her brilliant and expressive eyes, her intellectual face, and a suggestion of craft about her, all bade me be on my guard, and a sort of false likeness to the Charpillon's mother made me still more cautious, and fortified me in my resolution to give no heed to the appeals of pity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
