Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The High Priestess Mary Arnold´s great happiness was made up of several ingredients. First and foremost there was the consciousness of being rapturously in love. She had looked forward to such a blissful experience, but she had not supposed she could be won so quickly. Yet this was just the way in which she was proud to be won - swept off her feet by the impetuosity of a lover the genuineness of whose ardor left nothing to be desired. Then there was the agreeable sense of self-congratulation at having refused Henry Ives Thornton, who from the point of view of pecuniary ability to provide everything which any girl could desire, was indisputably the most eligible bachelor in Benham. Not that she had hesitated; it had been enough that his attentions - his declaration of passion left her emotionally cold. But the circle of her relatives and friends had made plain to her that they considered she was throwing away one of the signal opportunities of life - a chance which would never recur. Now by waiting she had vindicated her refusal to surrender to mere eligibility. What was much more significant, she had justified her own faith that the right man would present himself and that when he did her heart would reciprocate in full measure the ardor which he manifested.
