A Perfect Stranger
“This year even the children didn't enchant her. They were loud and unruly, constantly playing practical jokes on the grown-ups and annoying Raphaella in every possible way. The only bright spot was that they had loved her stories, but even that didn't seem to matter to her very much now. She put the manuscripts back in her suitcase after her first few days there and refused to tell them any more stories during the rest of her stay. She wrote two or three letters to Alex, but suddenly they all s...eemed stilted and awkward. It was impossible not to tell him what had happened, and she didn't want to do that until she had resolved it all in her own mind. Each time she tried to write to him, she felt more guilty, each day she felt more oppressed by her father and mother's words.
It was almost a relief when after the first week her father came for the weekend, and after a formal luncheon at which everyone at Santa Eugenia was present, thirty-four people that day, he told Raphaella he wanted to see her in the small solarium that adjoined his room.MoreLess
