Miss Stuart's Legacy

Zusatztext

Miss Stuart's Legacy by Flora Annie Webster Steel is about the arrival of Belle Stuart in India and Major Marsden's budding relationship with the young girl. Excerpt: "An Indian railway station in the first freshness of autumn dawn, with a clear decision of light and shade, unknown to northern latitudes, lending a fictitious picturesqueness to the low-arched buildings festooned with purple creepers. There was a crispness in the air that seemed to belie the possibility of noon of brass, yet the level beams of the sun had already in them a warning of warmth. The up-country mail had just steamed out of the station after depositing a scanty store of passengers on the narrow platform, while the down-country train, duly placarded with the information that it carried the homeward-bound mail, had shunted in from the siding where it had been patiently awaiting the signal of a clear line."
