THE HOUSEHOLD OF BOUVERIE.

_HESTER HOWARD'S TEMPTATION_.
_From Gail Hamilton, author of "Gala Days" etc._
"'The Household of Bouverie' is one of those books that pluck out all
your teeth, and then dare you to bite them. Your interest is awakened at
once in the first chapter, and you are whirled through in a
lightning-express train that leaves you no opportunity to look at the
little details of wood, and lawn, and river. You notice two or three little
peculiarities of style--one or two 'bits' of painting--and then you pull on
your seven-leagued boots and away you go."
_From George Ripley's Review of "The Household of Bouverie" in
Harper's Magazine_.
"'The Household of Bouverie,' by Mrs. Warfield, is a wonderful book. I

have read it twice--the second time more carefully than the first--and I
use the term 'wonderful,' because it best expresses the feeling
uppermost in my mind, both while reading and thinking it over. As a
piece of imaginative writing, I have seen nothing to equal it since the
days of Edgar A. Poe, and I doubt whether he could have sustained
himself and the readers through a book half the size of the 'Household
of Bouverie.' I have literally hurried through it by my intense sympathy,
my devouring curiosity--It was more than interest. I read
everywhere--between the courses of the hotel-table, on the boat, in the
cars--until I had swallowed the last line. This is no common occurrence
with a veteran romance reader like myself."

"No fears hath she! Her giant form Majestically calm would go O'er
wrathful surge, through blackening storm, 'Mid the deep darkness,

will traverse forever and aye! Many ports shall exult in the gleam of her

WILSON, "Isle of Palms."

"Then hold her Strictly confined in sombre banishment, And Doubt not
but she will ere long, full gladly, Her freedom purchase at the price you
name."

"No, subtle snake! It is the baseness of thy selfish mind, Full of all
guile, and cunning, and deceit, That severs us so far, and shall do ever."

"Despair shall give me strength--where is the door? Mine eyes are dark!

I cannot find it now. O God! protect me in this awful pass!"
JOANNA BAILLIE, _Tragedy of "Orra_."

CHAPTER I
.
It was a calm and hazy morning of Southern summer that on which I
turned my face seaward from the "keep" of Beauseincourt, never, I
knew, to
