Book Description
Excerpt from Lord Oakburn's Daughters, Vol. 2 of 3 Perhaps nearly the only household in South \vennock to which the report of the morning's intended ceremony had not penetrated, was that of Cedar Lodge. Even such newsmongers as milk women and baker's boys were chary of telling aught there that concerned its runaway daughter. When, therefore, Lord Oakburn saw the crowd round the church, he looked at it in surprise, wondering what was agate, and then he caught sight of the inmates of the close carriage about to be driven away from its doors. His daughter's terrified gaze met his. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
