Excerpt from Tales of My Time, Vol. 2 of 3

"Les vrais evenemens de la Vie sont quelquefois, beaucoup plus incroyable que ceux que l'Imagination presente a l'Esprit." L'Abbe Prevot.

There are some whose lot it is to pace the dull and beaten round of daily life like a sort of moral turn-spit, unconscious of the stages by which they travel from the cradle to the tomb. To these the extraordinary accidents and romantic coincidences, which occasionally chequer and diversify the flat road of human existence in the history of other men, appear incredible as the Arabian Nights' Entertainment; yet Fiction, in her most fantastic mood, does not leave the common average of events farther behind than reality is continually doing. Zorilda's was no common fate, and it pursued her to the grave.
