Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Zoe's Brand, Vol. 2 of 3
To a distant chamber of a small wooden hut, at the extremity of the garden, the body of little Freddy was carefully conveyed. There, for a few short hours, the mother watched beside him, absorbed in grief, with her dark face covered by a handkerchief, and her hands clasped. Convulsively on her forehead. At sunset on the following day a grave was dug outside the city in the dreary burial-place appropriated to the negro race, and Zoe, thoughtful still, ordered a hackney carriage, driven by a coloured man, to bear the tiny body to its resting-place.
