Explore "Mary Seaham, Volume III" by Mrs. Grey on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
My gentle lad, what is't you read / Romance or fairy fable? / Or is it some historic page / Of kings and crowns unstable? / The young boy gave an upward glare: / "It is the death of Abel! " / HOOD.
It was about ten days after the event recorded in the last chapter, that / Mary Seaham, for the first time since her illness, came down stairs; and / wearied by the exertion, and left comparatively alone -- for Mrs. de Burgh / was driving with her little girl, and Mr. de Burgh, and her brother -- who / had arrived to take his sister away as soon as she was sufficiently / strong enough to move -- were also from home; only the quiet, eldest boy / remained to keep her company.
