"It is very good to come back to you all, and to dwell among mine own people," she said, her voice thrilling with emotion; "and I am glad that Mrs. Hankey's prophecy has come true, and that Elisabeth Farringdon will be Elisabeth Farringdon to the end of the chapter."

The book contains a series of well-studied and effective illustrations by Mr. Emil Pollak. _BY THE AUTHOR OF "RED POTTAGE."_ =Diana Tempest.= A Novel.
