Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Whispering Dust
Archie Snell hasn't confided in me yet, but I think I see it in his eye, see it coming; and I know so well it is the very young girl - and I shall feel so old and You will be less real for a little while. You always are when things remind me I'm not young - because I haven't really left ten years behind me in the Church on the hill; as a matter of fact, I left nothing but my umbrella. You see what nonsense I am writing. Me and non sense! Doesn't it seem incongruous to You? But of course You have only known the new me; You have only known me for two days! And yet I feel You have known me always and have just been waiting for me to know You. That's absurd; yes, I know, but You can't think how delicious it is to be absurd after being sensible so long. I think, do You know, I am rather glad You have only known me - since Marseilles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
