The Romantic Adventures Of A Milkmaid is a classic work of English literature that continues to resonate with readers today.A fine-framed dark-mustachioed gentleman, in dressing-gown and slippers, was sitting there in the damp without a hat on. With one hand he was tightly grasping his forehead, the other hung over his knee. The attitude bespoke with sufficient clearness a mental condition of anguish. He was quite a different being from any of the men to whom her eyes were accustomed. She had never seen mustachios before, for they were not worn by civilians in Lower Wessex at this date.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
