First lines
"Bring me that book; place that table nearer; and leave me."
The Abigail obeyed the orders, and the young Countess of Erpingham was alone. Alone! what a word for a young and beautiful bride in the first months of her marriage! Alone! and in the heart of that mighty city in which rank and wealth -- and they were hers -- are the idols adored by millions.
