Falkland, Book 2.

by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton

FROM ERASMUS FALKLAND, ESQ., TO THE HON. FREDERICK MONKTON.

We are not les gens du monde, who are ruined by the loss of public opinion. She has felt that I can be to her far more than the world; and as for me, what would I not forfeit for one touch of her hand?
