Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Three Perils of Woman, or Love, Leasing, and Jealousy, Vol. 1 of 2: A Series of Domestic Scottish Tales Gatty kneeled in her wonted place, and said her prayers With a fervency and a devotion to which she had seldom before attained; but she neither prayed that she might love or not love, but only that she might be preserved from all Sin and temptation, and never left to follow the dictates of her own corrupt heart. After that she arose, strengthened and com forted, and firmly resolved never to subject her heart to the shackles of love, till she should arrive at the years of discretion and experience till she could do so without being ashamed of it to her own heart, or of disclosing it to her parents, which was far from being the case at that present time. She trembled at the very thoughts of it; regarding it as something in itself Sinful, and tending to wean her from the thoughts and services of her Maker.
