Excerpt from Steyneville, Vol. 3 of 3: Or, Fated Fortunes, Being the Memoirs of an Unextraordinary Man

O, how I missed the kind face of Annie! But it was best as it was, and I felt almost thankful to Providence for helping me to spare the gentle girl the recital of my loss.

Batty made a great clattering with the plates on my entrance, and knowing that to be an excuse for her wishing to remain, I sat down and told her quietly of Annie having gone away for good with her newly-found father.
