Excerpt from Innocent, Vol. 3 of 3: A Tale of Modern LifeIng, Was anything the matter? She opened softly the door of the room. All that aunty could see was Innocent, standing, gazing at the bed on which, to all appearance, the patient lay calm, with the softened reflection of the rose-coloured curtain over her. Innocent stood like a statue, white, immov able, gazing. Aunty stole in, frightened, with noiseless steps, afraid lest some creak of the floor should betray her presence. She laid her hand softly on Innocent' s shoulder.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
