Excerpt from Mildred: A Novel
Got up a little thunder-storm on his own account! Wonder what's happened him now muttered Rachel, the colored housekeeper, as she placed a lamp upon the table, and then silently left the room.
Scarcely was she gone when, seating himself in his arm chair, the Judge began to read again the letter which had so much disturbed him. It was post-marked at a little out-of-the-way place among the backwoods of Maine, and it purported to have come from a young mother, who asked him to adopt a little girl, nearly two months old.
