Excerpt from The Voice of the Heart a RomanceDevil's paint-brushes! Horrors! Emma looked her, scorn. Devil's paint-brushes, indeed! I want white flowers only.White flowers only, giggled Louise.

They were beautifully penciled black brows, and stood out with startling vividness from the white face. Betty Garside was barely eighteen. There was about her a fragrance and a dewiness which' made her conspicuous, even among the group of attrae tive girls with whom she was sitting.

Her complexion, instead of being the usual dusky complexion of the brunette, was dazzlingly, snowily white. A faint sea-shell pink invaded the cheeks in trailing ridges, on much the same plan as the petal of a white peony is veined with pink.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
