Whispering (1995)
“Jeremy sat where he was for a while, trying to make sense of it all. Why was it so hard to think clearly, dispassionately? He knew, really. It was because of Caterina and this unknown Luiz. It was not the threat of danger that sent the blood racing furiously through his veins; it was their relationship. They had been lovers, she and this young Portuguese traitor. It put her beyond the pale; an outcast from society.
And who was he to think so? He who had dangled after Rachel Emerson, let her lea...d him by the nose so ignominiously. He could suddenly not bear to sit still a moment longer, but rose to his feet and hurried out of the cathedral into the gathering dusk. And yet he must be quiet, must think it all out. He should have stayed in the cathedral, the only peaceful place now that the Ware house was so full of activity. Something twitched in his mind about the Ware house. The party? What had Caterina said about the party? She seemed to think Luiz’s plans revolved around it. That he might not act till then.MoreLess
