Excerpt from The Lady Lieutenant: A Wonderful, Startling and Thrilling Narrative of the Adventures of Miss. Madeline Moore, Who, in Order to Be Near Her Lover, Joined the Army, Was Elected Lieutenant, and Fought in Western Virginia Under the Renowned General McClellanIn vain I tried to dissuade him from his purpose; he said his mind was made up, and more than this, his word was pledged, and he would not retract his engagement.It would be impossible for me to portray my feelings when I found he was unshaken in his resolve to go and leave me. I felt lonely and almost heart-broken; but suddenly a new idea flashed across my mind, and my spirits regained their w'onted buoyancy. Frank noticed the change, but did not know the cause; and he seemed hurt at the thought that I could bear the separation with so much firmness, not to say indifference.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
