[Jeanne of the Marshes by E. Phillips Oppenheim]@TWC D-Link bookJeanne of the Marshes CHAPTER XIX 9/16
There are times when everything you have been trying for seems not worth while, when even one's fundamental ideas come tottering down. Just now I feel as though every stone in the foundation of what has seemed to me to mean life, is rotten and insecure.
I am tired of it. Shall I tell you what I feel like doing ?" "Yes!" he answered. "I have a little house in Silesia, where I am still a great lady, half-a-dozen servants, perhaps, farms which bring in a trifle of money. I think I will go and live there.
I think I will get up in the mornings as Jeanne does, and try to love my mountains, and go about amongst my people, and try to spell life with different letters.
Come with me, Nigel.
There is shooting and fishing there, and horses wild enough for even you to find pleasure in riding.
