Excerpt from Her Ladyship Lake Michigan was like a band of silver by the side of the vivid blue of the inland sea, spark ling under the October sunshine. Walking along its edge were just the two figures that a clever landscape painter would have wanted there. Their backs were turned to the sun, which made a halo around the girl's golden brown hair and glorified the edges of her large brown hat. Hair and hat just matched her brown eyes, which always had golden flecks in them, sunshine or not. Her white serge dress was too light for the crisp, cold day, and she had put around her shoulders a sealskin cape which huddled her neck, and threw out all the brilliant beauty of her sparkling face. She was a typical Yankee maiden, frank and free, full of the joy of life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
