DOROTHY'S DILEMMA:
A Tale of the Time of Charles I. By Caroline Austin. With 3 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s.
This is a story of the time of Charles I., and the opening scenes are laid in a remote country district through which the king passes in his flight to the north. A little Puritan maiden, Dorothy Hardcastle, is induced to afford a night's shelter to his majesty unknown to her father, who has fought on the side of the Parliament. In the event, her deception costs her father his life, and she is removed to London, whither her only brother John also goes. The story follows them both through their strange adventures in the great city, and leaves them setting sail for the New World, full of sorrow for past mistakes and with an earnest desire to lead a true, unselfish life on the other side of the sea.
MARIE'S HOME:
Or, A Glimpse of the Past. By Caroline Austin. With 3 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s.
This record of an early life, spent partly in an old English home and partly amid stirring scenes of the French revolution, teaches just such lessons of unselfish love as are of value to English maidens of to-day.
