Will Aymar be saved?What will happen to these two friends who are deeply attached to each other?_x000D_ Excerpt:_x000D_ "The lady who was writing at the rosewood escritoire near the window paused, and with the feather end of the quill traced along the days of the month on a little calendar headed "1814" which was propped up behind the ink-stand."April the twelfth," she murmured, and wrote it at the top of the already finished letter under her hand.She was not young—forty-five at least—but she was distinctly charming in her very short-waisted, close-fitting gown of lilac sarcenet."
