Excerpt from The Cattle-Baron's DaughterThe hot weather had come suddenly, at least a month earlier than usual, and New York lay baking under a scorching sun when Miss Hetty Torrance sat in the coolest corner of the Grand Central Depot she could find. It was by her own wish she had spent the afternoon in the city unattended, for Miss Torrance was a self-reliant young woman; but it was fate and the irregularity of the little gold watch, which had been her dead mother's gift, that brought her to the depot at least a quarter of an hour too soon. But she was not wholly sorry, for she had desired more solitude and time for reflection than she found in the noisy city, where a visit to an eminent modiste had occupied most of her leisure. There was, she had reasons for surmising, a decision of some moment to be made that night, and as yet she was no nearer arriv ing at it than she had been when the little note then in her pocket had been handed her.Still, it was not the note she took out when she found a seat apart from the hurrying crowd, but a letter from her father, Torrance, the cattle-baron, of Cedar Range. It was terse and to the point, as usual, and a little smile crept into the girl's face as she read.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
