Excerpt from The Purchase Price: Or the Cause of Compromise
"Madam, you are charming You have not slept, and yet you smile. No man could ask a better prisoner."
She turned to him, smiling faintly.
"I thank you. At least we have had breakfast, and for such mercy I am grateful to my jailer. I admit I was famished. What now?"
With just the turn of a shoulder she indicated the water front, where, at the end of the dock on which they stood, lay the good ship, Mount Vernon, river packet, the black smoke already pouring from her stacks. In turn he smiled and also shrugged a shoulder.
"Let us not ask My dear lady, I could journey on for ever with one so young and pleasant as yourself. I will give you my promise in exchange for your parole."
Now her gesture was more positive, her glance flashed more keenly at him.
