Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sea Bride They were to be married before the open fire, in the big living-room of the old house on the hill. Upstairs, Bess Holt was helping Faith dress. Faith sat before the old, veneered dressing table with its little mirror tilting on the curved standards, and submitted quietly and happily to Bess´s ministrations. Bess was a chatterbox, and her tongue flew as nimbly as the deft fingers that arranged Faith´s veil. Faith was content; her soft eyes resting on her own image in the little mirror were like the eyes of one who dreams dreams and secs visions. She scarce heard Bess at all... Only once she turned and looked slowly about this low-ceiled old room that had been her home: the high, soft bed, with its canopy resting on the four tall posts; the frame of that canopy was split in one place; she had wound it with wire to strengthen it. How many mornings, waking pleasantly as day stole in the little windows, she had seen that twist of wire first of all as her eyes opened. She used to look at it, and dream a little, before she rose... One window, with its white hangings, was just at the foot of the bed. The cool, salt-laden winds from the sea used to whisper in there and soothe her sleep. She had always loved the sea.
