Rosamond Or The Youthful Error

Beschreibung

With a blanched cheek Mr. Browning read this letter through--then tore it into fragments, wondering much who gave her the information. There were no spies about his premises. Rosamond would not do it, and it must have been his sister, though why she should thus wish to annoy him he did not know, when she, more than any one else, had been instrumental in placing him where he was.
