Aunt Anne

A Novel by Lucy Clifford published under the name Mrs W K Clifford. Lucy Clifford's two most successful and talked-about novels: Mrs. Keith’s Crime (1885) and Aunt Anne (1892). Excerpt: IT was a long night that followed. A telegram had arrived from the Hibberts. They were on their way, and coming as fast as possible, they said; but through the dark hours, as Mrs. North sat beside Aunt Anne, she feared that death would come still faster. Her bronchitis was worse at times; she could hardly breathe; it was only the almost summer-like warmth that saved her.
