Excerpt from The Third DiamondMinna did not intend to go straight to the station; there was too much time to waste it on a three-mile drive. Ever since hearing that Jack Palmer was engaged to Juanita Smith news her father had been eager to im part she had felt a strong desire to see Jack, to find if he looked different from the days when he was engaged to her. Of course, that was a year ago, when she was a mere child - now, she was eighteen. And, of course, she didn't mind, and Juanita Smith was welcome to Jack; Minna did not care for Jack or anybody else; all the same, she wanted to see him - ir must be so interesting to watch Jack in his anomalous condition of being engaged to somebody else. But her father would not have understood this desire to turn out of the way to pass Jack's farm, to stop, if necessary, and cry gayly, blithely, O Jackl Grown people, that is, people old enough to be young ladies' fathers and mothers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
