The Story Of Lawrence Garthe Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Story of Lawrence Garthe He had visited intimately at this house for almost two years, and everything in these rooms, the chairs, the sofas, the little desk, strewn with silver implements and delicately bordered mourning paper, the palms in the great china jars, the chrys anthemums in the crystal bowls, were as familiar as his own belongings. What an opportunity his had been, and how incomprehensible it seemed now that he had not made use of his unique advantages! He had become acquainted with Mrs. Garner and her step-daughter, Constance, while they were still in the deepest mourning, secluded from the world, always at home, always together, like Helena and Hermia as they created both one flower, both warbling of one song. Perhaps the reason Hartley had lingered and loitered along the pleasant road of easy intimacy was that his heart, although touched on the instant, had not been fixed. He had felt their interfused charm, and had made the most of that exquisite pause of time which a man experiences in halting before two women whom he admires equally.
