Excerpt from The Trials of Life, Vol. 2 of 2 With almost trembling eagerness she dressed that night for an assembly, where she was to meet Lord Frederick, perhaps, as she now thought, for the last time. She did meet him, and willingly suffered herself to be engrossed by him, almost to the exclusion of all her other admirers; yet the conversation on his part, though full of flattery and tenderness, was but what it had always been, until Alicia gently hinted it was the last they might have for a long time. Lord Frederick started in astonish ment and dismay. Like her, a separation had never occurred to him as possible, and he felt ready to avert the evil at any risk. This his countenance strongly expressed; but ere his tongue could second it, a lady approached him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
