Beatrice

CHAPTER VI
21/24

And putting aside any human predilections, Beatrice would never have married a man whom she despised.

Owen Davies saw all this as through a glass darkly, and in his own slow way cast about for a means of drawing near.

He discovered that Beatrice was passionately fond of learning, and also that she had no means to obtain the necessary books.

So he threw open his library to her; it was one of the best in Wales.

He did more; he gave orders to a London bookseller to forward him every new book of importance that appeared in certain classes of literature, and all of these he placed at her disposal, having first carefully cut the leaves with his own hand.
