Lucretia Lombard begins: In the long drawing-room of the stately home of Judge Samuel Curran and Bessy Emerson Curran, his wife, there reigned an utter, almost an uncanny silence. Yet there were six persons seated there, any one of whom, under ordinary circumstances, might have been considered equal to the demands of a more or less brilliant conversation.
