Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Princess of Thule, Vol. 2
And now it was Sheila's turn to look. A bit embarrassed, and colour, and appear uncertain whether to be vexed or pleased, when her husband himself broke in with his usual good natured impetuosity.
I say, Ingram, don't be absurd. Of course you must call her Sheila - unless when there are people here, and then you may please yourself. Why, the poor girl has enough of strange things and names about her already. I don't know how she keeps her head. It would bewilder me, I know; but I can see that, after she has stood at the window for a time, and begun to get dazed by all the wonderful sights and sounds outside, she suddenly withdraws and fixes all her attention on some little domestic duty, just as if she were hanging on to the practical things of life to assure herself it isn't all a dream. Isn't that so, Sheila? He said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
