A House Divided: An Easterleigh Hall Novel
“She had not undressed or washed since James had left. She had just cried. Now, as she pushed open her shutters and opened the windows, she wondered how it was that the man with the cart containing something in large baskets, covered by a cloth, was trundling along, that the woman setting up her market stall near the boulangerie could smile, and talk to that other woman. Surely the world should have stopped?
The windowsill was split. She ran her finger along it. Was it age, or the heat of the su...n? Would it be cold on the pass through the Pyrenees? Would James be laughing with Archie and Ian about the fool of a girl who had followed him? Would his blue eyes still be as angry? She’d never seen him like that, not even with Tim.
The man with the cart stopped, and was lifting off the cloth. He folded it carefully and put it beside the cart. The baskets contained tomatoes, and the square was becoming busy with customers. As she looked, more stalls were set up, and the noise level grew. She heard laughter and thought that she would never even smile again.MoreLess
