"The Youth of Lady Constantia," "The Wandering Home," "The Shadow of the Rose," "Beauty's Portmanteau," and "Old Silver" are equal to his best work, and the story which bears the title "Poet take Thy Lute" will appeal especially to those who love what is best and most beautiful in literature. The Heroine with the Marvellous Voice By LINNIE SARAH HARRIS With frontispiece. 12mo. $1.50
"Boston is a somewhat bigger village than Yorkbury, I suppose! How's your father? Why didn't he come with you? Is your mother well? And that boy Linnie Silly what do call him?" "Winnie, sir; and then there's Tom." "Winnie oh, yes! Tom well, too?"
Cicero is splendid, but his orations are very difficult to translate. I feel ashamed sometimes, when I make that eloquent man say what sounds absurd or insipid; but how is a school-girl to interpret such genius? Why, I should have to be a Cicero to talk like a Cicero!... Linnie Haguewood is a deaf-blind girl, one of the many whom Mr. William Wade has helped.
She is being educated by Miss Dora Donald who, at the beginning of her work with her pupil, was supplied by Mr. Hitz, Superintendent of the Volta Bureau, with copies of all documents relating to Miss Sullivan's work with Miss Keller.

It isn't you who are privileged to meet my Lady Morgan in the street
