Excerpt from Adrift in New York: Or Tom and Florence Braving the World
"Uncle, you are not looking well to-night." "I'm not well, Florence. I sometimes doubt if I shall ever be any better."
"Surely, uncle, you cannot mean -"
"Yes, my child, I have reason to believe that I am nearing the end."
"I cannot bear to hear you speak so, uncle," said Florence Linden, in irrepressible agitation. "You are not an old man. You are but fifty-four."
"True, Florence, but it is not years only that make a man old. Two great sorrows have embittered my life. First, the death of my dearly loved wife, and next, the loss of my boy, Harvey."
