The swarthy lover threatens to slay his betrothed, even at the feet of Jesus, should she prove unfaithful And another hopes to bear away a. Beauty Of Spanish race, by the magic sound of a word Of Rommany whispered in her ear at the window. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
