“Lisette had chosen a gown as romantic as her wedding was not. Copied from the one in which her grandmother had said her vows, the high-necked bodice of white lace rose demurely over a low-cut silk under-dress. The waist was tiny, and below it the skirts billowed out over moderate hoops in a cloud of silk and lace, caught up here and there by clusters of seed pearls. Her veil was also her grandmother's, descending to a twelve-foot train that her attendants lovingly guarded from contact with the ...wet flagway. She looked like a fairy princess, and the crowd cheered her dark beauty with enthusiasm. Forcing her stiff lips into a smile, Lisette clutched Timothy's hand. The veil between her and the world on this rainy morning that should have been the happiest day of her life seemed to heighten a sense of misty unreality. This was not the culmination of her dreams, surely? She was not really marrying a man rich, but infuriating, alternately kind and brutally brusque, of inferior birth, and certainly not in the least in love with her.MoreLessRead More Read Less
