The Waif, or the Web of Life: A Novel (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from The Waif, or the Web of Life: A Novel

The rich, Brussels carpet, velvet chairs, divans, and luxurious lounges and heavy garnet vela vet hangings, gave the occupant a sense of elegant comfort, while it completely shut out the cold and misery without.
