A Life Sentence is a novel by Adeline Sergeant. Sergeant was an English novelist and poet. Excerpt: ‘As the two stole silently down the corridor, Enid noticed that the door of Dick’s night-nursery was half open. She hesitated, then with a mute sign to Parker to go on, she entered the room and made her way to the child’s bedside. Parker lingered long enough to see her kneel down beside it, and lay her face for a few moments on the pillow beside the sleeping boy. She kissed him very gently; and when, with a sleepy movement, he turned and put his arm round her, as if to hold her there, the tears began to fall down her pale cheeks. But she dared not stay too long. She rose presently, put his hand back under the coverlet, and kissed him once again.’
