The cover of Miss Pollock's copy bears the date 1809, which means that the little book was re-bound as required with the date of the current ...

... once so fair and beautiful. A small locket, attached to a plain black necklace, lies upon it, like a moat on a snowy surface. Nervously does the good woman grasp it, and opening it behold a miniature of Marston, a facsimile of which is in her own possession.
