Excerpt from Cruel as the Grave

Their love was like the lava flood That burns in Etna's breast of flame.

Near the end of a dark autumn-day, not many years ago, a young couple, returning from their bridal tour, arrived by steamer at the old city of Norfolk and, taking a hack, drove directly to the best inn.

They were attended by the gentleman's valet and the lady's maid, and encumbered besides with a great amount of baggage, so that altogether their appearance was so promising that the landlord of the Anchor came for ward in person to receive them and bow them into the best parlor.

The gentleman registered himself and his party as Mr. And Mrs. Lyon Berners, of Black Hall, Virginia, and two servants.
