Excerpt from The Works of E. P. Roe
T the beginning of the Civil War there was a fine old residence on Meeting Street in Charleston, South Carolina, inhabited by a family almost as old as the State. Its inheritor and owner, Orville Burgoyne, was a widower. He had been much saddened in temperament since the death of his wife, and had withdrawn as far as possible from public affairs. His library and the past had secured a stronger hold upon his interest and his thoughts than any thing in the present, with one exception, his idolized and only child, Mary, named for her deceased mother. Any book would be laid aside when She ente'red all gloom banished from his eyes when she coaxed and caressed him.
She was in truth, one to be loved because So capable of love herself. She conquered and ruled every one, not through wilfulness or imperiousness, but by a gentle charm, all her own, which disarmed opposition.
