Excerpt from Olivia Delaplaine: A Novel
She dropped into an easy-chair, after darkening the window at which she had committed her late. Rather reckless indiscretion; and just as She fell into the list less posture which the tufted seat induced, a lady appeared within the room.
The new-comer went straight to Olivia and took her hand. The girl scarcely moved, looking up at her companion with a sad, placid smile, and at the same time allowing her extended hand to be patted in the most softly sympathetic way.
