Excerpt from Myra Gray; Or Sown in Tears, Reaped in Joy, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel Knew her aunt only by name, and Lady Honoria and her sister had only been as kind to her as they had been to the pointers, who were allowed to come in and be patted on certain days, or have a lavish mess served up to them in the kitchen, as the fancy urged them. They never do feed dogs in the kennel in Ireland, you know. The friend who had been unvarying in his affection till she left him to be finished, was dead; and the man who used to ride with her, ' and was now her sort of guardian, had taken to writing judicious letters.

Excerpt from Myra Gray, or Sown in Tears, Reaped in Joy, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel I doubted for a moment, and in this prae tical mammon-worshipping world no one should doubt longer, to what epoch to take my reader; how far back it would be desirable or easy to carry him - or her. I say easy, because there is a constraint in placing before the audience forms dressed in antique garb and disguising thought in obsolete language; in endeavouring to represent that as stamped with the impres sion of the mind, which is but a hardly-sustained effort of imagination or memory.
