Book Description

Excerpt from The Poacher's Daughter As the amiable Miss Martha Field was walking one morning on the lawn before her father's house, she heard a noise at the gate, and looking round, saw a poor little girl open it, and run towards her. She appeared about nine years old; she had neither shoes nor bonnet on, while a few patched rags, rudely hung together, composed her clothing. Yet, though so meanly clad, her dark blue eyes glistening with tears. and her rosy sun-burnt face shaded with flowing curls, her simple intelligent look, and the unconscious wildness of her manners, much interested Miss F. as the little gipsey-looking girl drew near.
