Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Pool in the Desert
I knew Anna Chichele and Judy Harbottle so well, and they figured so vividly at one time against the rather empty landscape Of life in a frontier station, that my affection for one of them used to seem little more, or less, than a variant upon my affection for the other. That recollection, however, bears examination badly; Judy was much the better sort, and it is Judy's part in it that draws me into telling the story. Conveying Judy is what I trem ble at: her part was simple. Looking back - and not so very far - her part has the relief of high comedy with the proximity of tears; but looking close, I find that it is mostly Judy, and that what she did is entirely second, in my' untarnished pic ture, to what she was. Still I do not think I can dissuade myself from putting it down.
