Heed the Thunder (2012)
“Now cloying, now rebellious, she struggled and wept against the brown giant. She touched him with fearful fingers that lingered more and more with each touching; she stroked him, brazenly.

In his substantial residence in the village of Verdon, Philo Barkley rocked in front of the economically-dampered heater while he regarded his daughter with u...naccustomed approval. He had come home to a house that was in excellent order and to a daughter who was fully dressed, and he had had one of the best meals he had eaten in months.

She was a good girl, he decided. The very best daughter in the world. He was sorry that he had spoken to her brusquely so many times in the past.MoreLess
