Excerpt from Sophy: Or the Adventures of a Savage, Vol. 1 of 3 'When we were girl and boy together, We tossed about the flowers, And wreathed the blushing hours Into a posy green and sweet...' - T. L. Beddoes. Some fifty or sixty years ago, Henry Fauntleroy, banker, was hanged for forgery, and a few days after this melancholy event, in an old country house in the south of England, a beautiful young lady, whom even the gigot sleeves and unbecoming headgear of the period failed to disfigure, was reading aloud an account of his execution from one of the leading journals. Her chief listener was a man so much older than herself that he might have been taken for her father, nay, his antiquated style of dress might even have misled a stranger into believing that he was a generation further removed from the girl who sat at his feet, crumpling the newspaper in her pretty hands.
