The Silver Cross (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Silver Cross

I read the scented billet a hundred times, I studied every charming turn, graceful stroke, and eloquent stop, but the examination was barren of result. It was all delightful, strange, and un familiar - a summons to the lists of love, a call to the adventurous heart. I had read many such letters in my time, but none that had inspired me with the same delicious hope and expectation. The turn of the thought appealed to me; the strange phrases took my fancy; and though I was never by any means unwilling to meet a lady, my eagerness now became excessive.

They say Beauty is charming and Love is ir resistible; they are only perfect when they meet with Honour and Courage. Beauty calls M. De Fontanges to her side, and Love waits to crown him with roses. Will he meet the writer at the corner of the Rue du Bac at midnight. When he will hear a new song and an old story.
