Description
A woman in a wood-encountered accidentally, and alone. 'Tis an encounter to challenge curiosity-even though she be but a gipsy, or a peasant girl gathering sticks. If a high-born dame, beautiful, -and, above all, bright-haired, -curiosity is no longer the word; but admiration, involuntary, unrestrained-bordering upon adoration. It is but the instinct of man's heart to worship the fairest object, upon which man's eye may rest; and this is a beautiful woman, with bright hair, met in the middle of a wood. Marion Wade possessed all the conditions to merit such exalted admiration. She was high-born, beautiful, and bright-haired. She was alone in a wood. It did not detract from the interest of the situation, that she was mounted on a white horse, carried a hawk on her hand, and was followed by a hound. She was unaccompanied by human creature-hawk, hound, and horse being her only companions. It must have been her choice to be thus unattended. Wishing it, the daughter of Sir Marmaduke Wade might have had for escort a score of retainer
