AND MRS. FRANK BERRY; Chapter I -- The Fight at Slaughter House; Chapter II -- The Combat at Versailles; DENNIS HAGGARTY'S WIFE; Chapter I; Chapter II; Endnotes. Title; Contents; THE RAVENSWING; Chapter I -- Which is Entirely Introductory-Contains an Account of Miss Crump, Her Suitors, and Her Family Circle; Chapter II -- In Which Mr. Walker Makes Three Attempts to Ascertain the Dwelling of Morgiana; Chapter III -- What Came of Mr Walker's Discovery of the "Bootjack"; Chapter IV -- In Which the Heroine Has a Number More Lovers, and Cuts a Very Dashing Figure in the World; Chapter V -- In Which Mr. Walker Falls into Difficulties, and Mrs. Walker Makes Many Foolish Attempts to Rescue Him.
