Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Blaze of Glory
IN a little room, somewhat shabby and rather meanly furnished, a young girl stood looking round on its well-worn and tediously familiar features with great solemn eyes filled with utter distaste and dis satisfaction.
She was very young, this girl, a Slight slip of a creature, not pretty, and yet with something out Of the common Shining from behind her solemn eyes. She had lovely hair, too, masses of rich, deep-brown hair, fine in texture, setting well about the low, broad forehead, about the little pink-tipped ears, and lying in enviable waves at the nape Of the long and slender neck. For the rest her complexion was negative, her nose nondescript, though inclining to length, her mouth tending to sadness, and her figure decidedly undefined. Not a pretty girl, and yet one in whom there were possibilities Of life quite out of line with the meagre little room in which She stood.
