Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Works of Professor Wilson of the University of Edinburgh, Vol. 11: Tales The Lily was sitting alone in a deep hollow among the hills, with her sheep and lambs pasturing or playing around her, while over that little secluded circle a single hawk was hanging far up in the sky. She was glad, but not surprised, to see her brother standing beside her and when he sat down by her side and took her hand into his, she looked up with a gentle smile, and asked if he was going upon business further on among the hills. Walter Harden instantly poured forth, in a torrent, the passion of his soul, beseeched her not to shut up her sweet bosom against him, but to promise to become, before summer was over, his wedded wife. He spoke with fervour but trepidation - kissed her cheek - and then awaited, with a fast-throbbing and palpitating heart, his Amy's reply.
