Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twilight Tales: Twenty-Four Stories of Love and Romance From Real Life A Woman with a worn face and a look of drooping weariness came to the farmhouse door in the lingering summer dusk. A golden after-glow lit the sky. The lilies in the round garden bed perfumed the air. Crickets chirped. Now and then a bird slowly uttered a single note. From a thicket near by floated the plaintive cry of the whippoorwill. The woman shaded her eyes with her hand, and gazed across the nearer meadows to a field skirting a brook, where a glimmer of green and white shone in the half light, almost as if it were snow under the moon. She could just descry two figures walking slowly beside the brook beyond the buckwheat. "Doris and John Roberts!" she said to herself. "Doris Deane and John Roberts! And the buckwheat is in bloom!" "Mrs. Deane!" A querulous voice summoned the watcher from the door. With a stifled sigh, she turned, went in, and made comfortable for the night her crippled neighbor, whom she and her husband had taken in, because no one else in the township would consent to be bothered with a person at once so helpless and so disagreeable. "Do you know, Mrs. Deane," said the neighbor, "that your Doris is over by the buckwheat field, talking with that miserable no-account Johnny Roberts? I´m surprised that Doris, with her education, will waste her time on a trifling body like John." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
