Pansy, P: Her Associate Members (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Her Associate MembersThe face which looked out into the street below was fair, and, on the whole, sweet, though the brow was somewhat clouded, and there was a look in the eyes which told the close observer something about a disappointment bravely borne, which nevertheless shadowed her face at times.Stuart Holmes, lying on a couch outside of the line of the breeze, yet in a position to command a side view of the face, studied it for a moment, then closed his eyes and drew the faintest possi ble sigh. He had a gay afghan thrown over him, and drooped his head among the pillows in a way which suggested debility.Mrs. Holmes had turned but a moment before from a small writing-table, whereon lay at this moment a bulky package sealed and addressed to Mrs. Chess Gardner. Had you been looking over her shoulder while she wrote, you would have understood the situation better; perhaps the easiest way is to give you a chance to hear some thing of what she wrote to her old-time friend.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
