Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Donalda: A Scottish-Canadian Story
Not so well! It seems to me that you were never looking better. It's the worst thing in the world to give way to imagination. I never do. However, we're wasting time. You ought not to reproach me if our tastes differ, more especially since I am so often compelled to go out unattended by my husband.
It had come to this at last. During nine short years of extravagance and indulgence in pleasure the devoted husband had vastly suffered, both in health of body and in weight of purse, while the beautiful wife, the pampered darling of society, had but blossomed into more wondrous beauty and into more determined self-will.
Getting impatient of delay, Mrs. Graeme began restlessly fingering over her dressing-table, and her husband, feeling that further protest was use less, and that, from his wife's latest remark, he was somehow deserving of blame, arose and left the room. The lady, apparently relieved by his absence, raised a small silver bell wherewith to summon her attendant, when her eyes fell upon the tiny figure on the sofa.
