Loving Rose: the Redemption of Malcolm Sinclair (Casebook of Barnaby Adair)
“A month after he arrived at the manor, Thomas sat in the library, his financial work for the day not yet commenced; his admiral’s chair swiveled so his back was to his desk, to the letters and news sheets waiting piled upon it, he stared broodingly out of the window.
The impatience in his soul remained, yet, even now, he felt a measure of calm, the soothing influence of the simple pleasures he was exposed to every day. Each and every day that he spent at the manor, an accepted part of the small... household.
He wasn’t sure he was supposed to be enjoying himself quite so much. So . . . effortlessly.
The man he once had been would have listened to his welling impatience, would have surrendered to it and found some way to press ahead; the man he’d once been would have had no hesitation in going forth and forcing the world to his bidding—forcing even Fate to his self-determined timetable.
Yet the man he now was had learned something of humility, had accepted that he was not the person about whom his world revolved.MoreLess
