Its inheritor and owner, Orville Burgoyne, was a widower. He had been much saddened in temperament since the death of the wife, and had withdrawn as far as possible from public affairs. His library and the past had secured a stronger hold upon his interest and his thoughts than anything in the present, with one exception, his idolized and only child, Mary, named for her deceased mother. Any book would be laid aside when she entered; all gloom banished from his eyes when she coaxed and caressed him. ## Chapters - [Chapter 45](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/45/index.md) - [Chapter 42](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/42/index.md) - [Chapter 15](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/15/index.md) - [Chapter 13](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/13/index.md) - [Chapter 18](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/18/index.md) - [Chapter 47](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/47/index.md) - [Chapter 43](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/43/index.md) - [Chapter 21](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/21/index.md) - [Chapter 19](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/19/index.md) - [Chapter 48](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/48/index.md) - [Chapter 38](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/38/index.md) - [Chapter 25](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/25/index.md) - [Chapter 9](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/9/index.md) - [Chapter 30](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/30/index.md) - [Chapter 22](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/22/index.md) - [Chapter 35](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/35/index.md) - [Chapter 16](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/16/index.md) - [Chapter 44](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/44/index.md) - [Chapter 46](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/46/index.md) - [Chapter 7](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/7/index.md) - [Chapter 36](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/36/index.md) - [Chapter 37](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/37/index.md) - [Chapter 31](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/31/index.md) - [Chapter 11](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/11/index.md) - [Chapter 24](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/24/index.md) - [Chapter 4](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/4/index.md) - [Chapter 33](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/33/index.md) - [Chapter 41](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/41/index.md) - [Chapter 49](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/49/index.md) - [Chapter 14](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/14/index.md) - [Chapter 6](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/6/index.md) - [Chapter 28](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/28/index.md) - [Chapter 29](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/29/index.md) - [Chapter 34](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/34/index.md) - [Chapter 26](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/26/index.md) - [Chapter 32](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/32/index.md) - [Chapter 2](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/2/index.md) - [Chapter 5](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/5/index.md) - [Chapter 17](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/17/index.md) - [Chapter 23](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/23/index.md) - [Chapter 8](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/8/index.md) - [Chapter 20](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/20/index.md) - [Chapter 10](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/10/index.md) - [Chapter 40](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/40/index.md) - [Chapter 27](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/27/index.md) - [Chapter 12](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/12/index.md) - [Chapter 39](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/39/index.md) - [Chapter 3](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/3/index.md) - [Chapter 1](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-earth-trembled-6719/chapters/1/index.md)
