Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - By the end of the second decade of
the last century Monday Port had passed the height of prosperity as
one of the principal depots for the West Indian trade. The shipping
was rapidly being transferred to New York and Boston, and the old
families of the Port, having made their fortunes, in rum and
tobacco as often as not, were either moving away to follow the
trade or had acquiesced in the changed conditions and were settling
down to enjoy the fruit of their labours. The harbour now was
frequently deserted, except for an occasional coastwise trader; the
streets began to wear that melancholy aspect of a town whose good
days are more a memory than a present reality; and the old stage
roads to Coventry and Perth Anhault were no longer the arteries of
travel they once had been.

"No clue, mother, not the slightest. Nancy seems to have vanished
as completely as if she had dissolved into air. As you know, the
house has been thoroughly searched; the servants carefully
questioned; and enquiries have been made at every conceivable place
in Monday Port. I have been to the House on the Dunes, and to the
farmhouses on every road round about. No one has seen or heard of
her. She has taken French leave, but for what reason I can't
imagine."
