Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Woman With a Purpose "How foolish she is!" the world said, when Dorcas Sloane told Leonard Coit that she would not marry him. "But I don´t see any especial reason that I should," she argued quietly, her head a little on one side in her attitude of deepest consideration. Coit cast aside the more sentimental phases of his previous argument and exposition. Instead, - "But I would take such good care of you," he urged. That was his last, worst blunder. The chin of Dorcas lifted a little. "I am not altogether sure that I want to be taken care of - yet," she said rather perversely. "It seems to me that I am not altogether incapable of looking out for -" Coit rose and stood gazing down at her, dignified, even a little stately, with his erect figure and his thatch of snow-white hair, the hair which had first drawn upon him the wayward attention of Dorcas Sloane. It was counted well-nigh impossible to please the girl´s critical eyes; the contrast between Coit´s young face and aged hair had achieved the miracle. Now the face was sterner than it was its wont to be. "Yourself." Quietly he finished up her sentence for her. "You are. Very likely you always will be; at least, as long as I am able to be at your service." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
