Miracle
“She had allowed it! She had even enjoyed it! For an instant, she had experienced a new form of flying. Her blood sang. Her body vibrated like a stroked harp string.
This odd, confusing, fascinating man had kissed her, making her forget for the moment that if she didn't hurry, there would be no hope of returning to the lighthouse—not with the waves and tides as turbulent as they were tonight. As turbulent as her insides.

Who was he, anyway? What was he? A hero one moment, almost childlike the next. A farmer one day, a true aristocrat later, with all the airs and arrogance that went along with it. It was in his walk, his stance, the elegant, well-cut clothes he wore, not to mention the way he had of looking down his nose at anything he found objectionable. Aristocrats, especially dukes, were notorious for that, regarding their less- than-distinguished world with a tendentious eye.MoreLess
