The Vehement Flame A Novel (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Vehement Flame: A Novel Eleanor, deeply hurt, was tempted to retort with the announcement that she needn't be left alone; she might get married! But she was silent; she never knew what to say when assailed by the older woman's tongue. She just wrote Maurice, helplessly, that she was going abroad. He was panic-stricken. Going abroad? Uncle Henry's ancient dame was a she-devil, to carry her off! Then, in the midst Of his anger, he recognized his opportunity: The hell-cat has done me a good turn, I do believe! I'll get her! Bless the woman! I'll pay her passage my self, if she'll only go and never come back! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
