Description:Excerpt: ...was brought her she observed, casually: "Thanks. By the way, I should like to ride this morning to Markenstein. Do you think the weather is good enough to risk it?"

Never in all his days of exile did he say one word against her. Possibly in searching his own soul he found excuses such as we may find.

The story of Marie Louise is pathetic, almost tragic. There is the taint of grossness about it; and yet, after all, there is a lesson in it-the lesson that true love cannot be forced or summoned at command, that it is destroyed before its birth by outrage, and that it goes out only when evoked by sympathy, by...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
