Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mirage Her name was Constance - Constance Varley. At that time she was probably between one and two and twenty; a fair-haired girl, with eyes as clearly, frankly blue as the open blossom of a blue marsh-flower. Of her character and disposition it is somewhat more difficult to speak. Indeed I am inclined to believe that in those days there was no one who had any very definite understanding of either. Miss Varley herself had perhaps thought rather more about it than is common with girls of her age; but, on the whole, ones own self-judgment is apt to be of a vague and desultory nature, showing but little of that trenchant singleness of impression - that fine infallibility of decision - which enable us to classify the actions of our fellow-men. It has already been observed that the difficulty of judging any human being is materially increased by the slightest study of the subject. But this was a consideration which, fortunately enough, had never occurred to any of Miss Varley´s acquaintance. "Constance Varley, the dearest girl in all the world and my intimate friend, has promised to come with us. Tom is delighted. I am delighted. I am sure I need hardly ask if you are not delighted too," Mrs. Thayer had written on this occasion of their journey. "But young men are so curious nowadays. Perhaps you do not care for pretty girls any longer, Jack?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
