AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A dream of danger is forgotten when Evelyn Hylton and her sister, the narrator, attend the 21st birthday ball of Evelyn's fiancée. A thieving servant and a costly engagement bracelet combine to frighten Evelyn nearly to a literal death, and he dies making his escape. Eventful, slight notion of prophecy vs. reason, light. (PB)
