Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Key of the Unknown Clearly something was wrong with his human friends; and an angry sob from Joan, which not all her efforts could repress, roused him in earnest, and the next moment he was in her lap trying to lick her face. But the girl pushed him away in her irritation. "Be quiet, Cocker. No," her voice softening as the old dog whined in sympathy, "you cannot help me, you dear old fellow." "No one can help you, Joan, as long as you refuse to open your eyes and acknowledge the truth." But Lady Mary´s tone was somewhat chilling in its dignity; it was evident that her patience had been sorely tried. She had been talking, arguing, persuading for nearly an hour, but Joan was impossible. She had refused almost passionately to regard herself as a culprit, or to own that she had done anything wrong. For the first time she turned on that dearly beloved friend with reproach and anger. "You are unjust to me, Lady Mary," she repeated for the second time. "Why should I submit tamely to such accusations when they are not true?" "Joan, Joan, would you tell me to my face that I am a liar?" and a delicate flush rose to Lady Mary´s face. "You know such a thought never entered my head," returned the girl indignantly; "but all the same you are utterly mistaken." "Am I mistaken in thinking that Craig has been making love to you?" demanded Lady Mary with increasing sternness. "No, for it is the truth, and God forbid that I should deny it! But am I to blame because I have found favour in your nephew´s eyes?" And there was a naughty sparkle of triumph in Joan´s own eyes as she spoke which contradicted her assumed calmness. But the next moment it was repressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
