Books with title Gargoyles

She was crying on the couch. All right. Let her. But she was crying because she wanted something.... His hands grabbed her head and straightened her face until their eyes were looking into each other. "Listen," he said. He was shaking her. "I'm going away." Eyes watched each other. She looked until the face she had once kissed became entirely strange. There was no Lief, no lover. But a face staring murderously into hers. But there was something else. Tears behind the stare. Why was he weeping? The question like a tiny visitor sat down in her mind. He let her go and walked from the room, grabbing his hat and coat into his hands as he went. Doris listened. Down the stairs. Outside. He was gone. She went to the window. Her eye had swelled and her cheek pained. She sat down and looked into the street. "He hit me," she was whispering to herself. She began to weep with shame. But her tears seemed to soften her heart toward him. He had cried too.

Gargoyles goes deep into the souls of the persons and their relations with the upper classes, uncovering the dull sides and the emotional sides. Many times, the personalities, principles and morals of his personages are transformed, as they take an eye within themselves and appreciate what they treasured the most, how their selfdom invade their will and morals, and oftentimes do not grasp the purposes of those principles that are so critical to them. We take in the emanation of these alterations and focus on the life experiences of George Basine, his friends, and his family and the greatest of all, the pretentions that each of them have.
