About this book

Alice Lorraine is a tale of the South Downs by R. D. Blackmore. The text describes the Ring as a height of vantage for searching all the country round with a telescope on a breezy day. The text says that when the astrologer Agasicles made his principal night-haunt at the Ring, the Ring was not overhung with trees, but only outlined by them. The text says that, to a citadel of science guarded by the fame of ghosts, even a daughter named Artemise, or a trusty servant named Memel, would scarce dare to follow him.

The text says that Claudia cared not one half-real for Hilary, or what became of him. The text has Bottler shout "Hurrah!" with every one present, Mabel included, joining the shout.
