Book Description

Excerpt from Walter Goring, Vol. 1 of 3: A Story They were the children of twin sisters - the lovely hostess and her handsome guest - and they had been brought up together as brother and sister, which fact must be accepted in extenuation of any peculiar interest either may display for the other in the course of this story. Moreover, in addition to having been brought up together on terms of fraternal intimacy, they had, when arrived at years of discretion, sunk the fraternity for a time, and fallen in love with one another. Their passion had not prospered; that is to say, the lady had taken fright at matrimony on no.thing a year, and had released her cousin-lover with a great deal of affected magnanimity and real affection.
