Excerpt from The Fatal Secret: And Other Stories
They said that you had faithless grown, That gold had Wiled your love from me But my firm heart was constant still, And thought that false you could not be; It thought that truth and constancy Within your bosom dwellers were; My love no ill Of you could think And are you then so false and fair - nicoll.
HE terrible events of this true story occurred some years ago, before steam-cars or telegraph wires had been invented, or cruel laws with extreme penalties for slight offences had been repealed: While yet all distant communications were made through special messengers, or slow mail-carriers, and all travelling accomplished by private conveyances, or public stage-coaches that rumbled over bad turnpike roads infested by foot-pads and mounted highwaymen; while yet gentlemen and doctors of divinity were executed for counterfeiting or forgery, and poor servant girls hanged for stealing.

The Fatal Secret: And Other Stories (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating historical true crime account of a young woman's journey through a Victorian justice system determined to set an example of her, no matter her innocence or youth. As a scandalous story of love, betrayal, and the lengths people will go for wealth, the book is an enthralling, albeit horrific, glimpse into a world of extreme penalties for small, sometimes unintentional crimes. The author deftly places the story within the context of the times, before the era of modern forensic science, when superficial appearances ruled the day and determined the fate of individuals. Thematic depth comes through explorations of power dynamics, the heartbreak of familial separation, and the lengths a daughter would go to spare her family distress. This book is sure to leave readers horrified at the ease with which an innocent life was almost extinguished and ponder the ways in which our justice systems have evolvedâ"and yet, in some ways, remained alarmingly similar over time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282628604_0
