Excerpt from The Lost Inheritance, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
At last Marion heard a knock at the door, which Adeline fortunately did not perceive, as she was at the piano. She closed her book quietly, and left the room, thinking that it would be far better for no third person to be present during the approaching inter View.
Adeline did not miss her, or notice the noise which Vernon made in opening the door; but his footstep, as he entered the room, made her turn round. Vernon's heart beat rapidly, all his passionate love seemed throbbing within him as he gazed upon her; how he longed to press her to his breast! She rose quickly, and with a flushing cheek, stood to receive him.
