Rosa I was not so sure about; she sat demurely and upright, and looked far away into the tree-tops in a visionary, world-forgetting sort of way; yet the prim purse of her mouth was somewhat overdone, and her eyes glittered unnaturally.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
