Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vision of Desire He laughed down at her triumphantly and made as though to take her in his arms, but she shrank back, pressing him away from her with urgent hands. "I told you not to come. I told you not to come," she reiterated. "Oh!" turning aside with nervous desperation, "why didn´t you stay away?" He stared at her. "Why didn´t I? Do you suppose any man on earth would have stayed away after receiving such a letter? Why did you write it?" - rapidly. "What did you mean?" She looked away from him towards the distant mountains rimming the horizon. "I meant just what I said. I can´t marry you," she answered mechanically. "But that´s absurd! You´ve known I cared - you´ve cared, too - all these weeks. And last night you promised - you said" "Last night!" She swung round and faced him. "I tell you we´ve got to forget last night - count it out. It - it was just an interlude -" She broke off, blenching at the abrupt change in his expression. Up till now his face had been full of an incredulous, boyish bewilderment, half tender, half chiding. Within himself he had refused to believe that there was any serious intent behind her letter. It was fruit of some foolish misunderstanding or shy feminine withdrawal, and he was here to straighten it all out, to reassure her. But that word "interlude"! Had she been deliberately playing with him after all? Women did such things - sometimes. His features took on a sudden sternness. "An interlude?" he repeated quietly. "I´m afraid I don´t understand. Will you explain?" Her shoulders moved resentfully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
