Black August
“Ann let herself relax into a more comfortable position between them, realising suddenly that she had been acting like a fool. All day she had been striving to leave London, really frightened now as to what might happen in the capital, and here was a heaven-sent opportunity. If it had not been for Kenyon’s high-handed treatment of her the previous night—if he had only tried persuasion instead of bullying—and if she had not been so wretchedly tired after her long and disappointing day, she would have come quite willingly. He could not prevent her leaving him at the journey’s end if she wished.
Kenyon was angry with Ann, and with himself. ‘If only she had been reasonable the night before this ridiculous scene would not have occurred, but he ought, of course, to have been more patient with her—actually to kidnap her was pretty stiff—it was the impulsive nature which went with his red hair,’ he thought ruefully, ‘which led him into scrapes like this. Anyhow, the thing was done, and he had ...her safely beside him in the car, which meant a lot.’ He turned his attention to the best way of getting out of London.MoreLess
