Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Love Legend Ward Harris, at twenty, wore a virginal look like golden rain infiltrated through the stuff of a morning meadow; a look that came from her trust in the love legend, in which she had put all the capital of her youthful hopes, since her mother´s whispered story of the prince who was to come and change the world with a magic kiss. Thus Mrs. Harris phrased it - her theory that four men, exhibiting popular superlatives, like models smirking in pink and yellow gowns at a fashion show, were to take form in her household and, after suitable rites and emotional upheavals, unite themselves in marriage with her four daughters, Anita, Ward, Sari and Dizzy. This tradition was matter for amusement for the three girls, Nita, Sari and Dizzy. Ward alone was credulous about the perfection of her future life. Delicately beautiful, immaculate, exquisite, Ward seemed meant by nature for the heroine of a fairy tale. She had seriously tried to follow her mother´s suggestion that she gaze upon the eternal hills and the everlasting seas for the purpose of gaining poise - a quality which she had unconsciously possessed since babyhood. She hoped in this way to win her flawless husband, who would, of course, be attracted solely by her goodness, sweetness and purity. II This hot July afternoon Ward came out of the house to stroll down to the lake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
