A Woman in the Wilderness

4.9/5 (33470 ratings)
Description:Excerpt from A Woman in the WildernessI was panic stricken. I knew exactly what had happened. He had been having fever, and there was no one to look after him, and it had turned to blackwater, and he had died, and no one liked to tell me. To wait for a reply to a letter would take six weeks; to cable would be useless, I knew by experience, for if he was alive he wouldn't think it worth while wasting the money on saying he was; and if he was dead he wouldn't be able to. Feeling like something trapped I fled up to London to await the worst there. In the country each day seemed forty-eight hours long.A mail was just coming in as I went through the hall. Four good hearty long letters from William, and not a word about fever or anything of its kind. I inquired of the porter. Yes, he had forwarded them regularly. He had the address and showed it to me written down quite correctly. Something must have happened to them between Piccadilly and Burwash. But what, no one knew.Two months later, when William had himself arrived and put my fears to flight, a shower of travel-soiled letters came dropping at the club addressed and re-addressed, and then addressed again. And over them, stamped like the pattern on a piece of silk, the word Rangoon, Rangoon, Rangoon.I saw it then. An intelligent Official with his mind not on things Of the Post Office had sent them to Burmah instead of Burwash.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
