Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Invader's Son
However, on this occasion, she unconsciously ex pressed aloud the secret Of her heart. She was sur prised to hear the precious words repeated in the still, crisp atmosphere. She made a pretty menac ing gesture at her friends - the big, brown hills Over the way, - and scrambled further out on the broad coping to inhale the harvest-scented air from the fields. Her light auburn hair floated in the breeze. The pink flush Of perfect health mounted to her cheeks. Delicately moulded features and a mouth that one would kiss set her apart at once as beautiful. Raoul had Often told Hermance of this desirable gift Of the gods. And She was guilty of admiring in the mirror, when quite alone, her high prominent forehead, bright bewitching blue eyes, shapely head finely poised on a graceful, velvety, white neck. As she stood thus, almost dizzy in the zenith of happiness that comes to a good girl at such a time, she was more comely than ever before. A flowing garment of pea-green lawn suited her well - it flapped out behind, silhouetting the out lines Of her rounded, divinely carved form against the cloudless canopy of the heavens. Her nebulous charms of grace and natural vivaciousness gave her the right to be called the loveliest young woman in that part Of Northern France.

Excerpt from The Invader's Son
"And to-morrow is my wedding day!" Hermance Morestier exclaimed as she sprang upon the parapet in the first sunbeams of a morning late in the month of July. "Ha! the maids in the village are glad with me - they love me much now; but not a year ago, when Raoul - my gay and handsome Raoul - came back from the army. Then they were jealous. And, why not? - he would have been a prize for any of them. But I am lucky! Yes; Yvonne, Antoinette, Marie - and poor little Eloise! - they all wanted him!"
The clear, rippling sounds of Hermance's voice were sent back to her in echo from across the old moat, and she laughed so merrily that a covey of pigeons started up from the ruined battlements at her feet.
Almost daily, since the age of six, she had climbed the ancient ladder to the turreted roof of the chateau that had been the home of her family for five centuries, to look out on the country, far and wide, and to amuse herself with the echo.
