"Come, come!" said his Uncle Julius, a wealthy old gentleman buttoned firmly into a white vest, "what a face! It is nothing so terrible that I ask of you! One would think it a hanging matter, to beau a pretty young girl about the place!"]]> Fri, 21 Jun 2013 15:46:34 +0300 Julia The Apostate https://anthologies.library.land/josephine-daskam-bacon/3798-julia_the_apostate.html https://anthologies.library.land/josephine-daskam-bacon/3798-julia_the_apostate.html
