[Frances Waldeaux by Rebecca Harding Davis]@TWC D-Link bookFrances Waldeaux CHAPTER VII 12/32
Skeletons with no flesh! As for Lucy, she had no fear.
If even the child had loved George, she would have cast out every thought of him on his wedding day, as a Christian girl should do! She passed Lucy at that moment.
She was leaning against one of the huge stone lions which crouch in front of the church, listening to Mr. Perry.
If ever a pure soul looked into the world it was through those limpid eyes! The Platz was nearly empty.
One or two men in blouses clattered across the cobblestones and going into the dark church dropped on their knees. The wind was high, and now and then swept heavy clouds low across the sunlight space overhead. Lucy, as Jean had guessed, knew why the man beside her had crossed the Atlantic, and she had decided last night to end the matter at once. The tears had stood in her eyes for pity at the thought of the pain she must give him.
