Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wings of Youth: A Novel
When there was nothing else to do he sat in the hall, on the other side of the library door, watching that door with the expression of an alert but patient cat at a mouse hole. The Devons, when they rang for him, did not like to be kept waiting.
A casual observer glancing in upon them would have decided that the Devons were certainly fortunate and probably happy. A careful observer would have noticed the shadows on their brows and the discontented lines around their handsome mouths. Either would have looked lingeringly, for the two young faces were very arresting.
