Excerpt from Godiva Durleigh, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel for Girls
"Don't go indoors yet, father. Let us walk to the end of the street, close up to the old water-gate."
Morris Durleigh turned from the door and looked at his daughter for a moment. Her eyes met his with a frank, bright gaze, and then something which made you think of a ray of light passed over his face. It was a face that was visited now and then with a sudden illumination, but its habitual expression was thoughtful and sad.
