Hester a Story of Contemporary Life, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Hester a Story of Contemporary Life, Vol. 2

Captain Morgan came and stood between his wife and the visitor. To be sure it was to the fire he went, by which he posted himself with his back to it, as is the right of every Englishman. His countenance wore a troubled look, very different from the happi ness of his wife's. He stood like a barrier between them, a non-conductor intercepting the passage of genial sentiment.
