Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Potter of Texas: A Novel "Sir, I have something to tell you!" "My heaven! Is there a woman - an English woman in this accursed place to-night?" ejaculates the young man to whom she has spoken, turning with a start and looking at her in amazed horror, but still holding in his hand a revolver, the cartridges of which he has been carefully examining. "I have come all the way from Europe to say to you something of great importance." "There is nothing of importance now but to save your life!" "My life? Is our personal danger so imminent?" "There is death to every European man or woman in this city to-night. And they deserted you?" This last is said in surprised astonishment, for he has noticed the unusual refinement and beauty of the woman speaking to him, the richness of her dress and jewels, though she is in the black of deep mourning, and the latent appearance of haughty command in her pose, notwithstanding there is in her manner and gaze, as she addresses him, a curious apologetic humility, as if she were ashamed of an indefinite something.
