Book Description

Excerpt from The Spitfire, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale of the Sea "It cannot be, Herbert, it cannot be. I can neither relinquish my rights nor my hopes. You know how I have been wronged; you know how bitterly, how cruelly I have been used. My brother - and still he is my brother has - cheated me of my birthright; and, not contented with crushing me by poverty, has imbued the father of the girl - the only girl I ever loved - with such hatred against me, that I am considered as a dependent where I ought to be in affluence - an intruder where I might have been a son."
