Van Heemskirk's grandson, Lieutenant Hyde, was hastening towards Broadway; and the lovely Cornelia Moran was sauntering up the garden of her home, stooping occasionally to examine the pearl-powdered Auriculas or to twine around its support some vine, straggling out of its proper place.
"The Maid of Maiden Lane"
Amelia E. Barr

Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr
