Excerpt from HeartbeatSally was a born pessimist. She could always find a cloud or a mist about somewhere. When she had retired, Barbara assured herself with regard to the dubious weather forecast by lean ing out of the window in her nightdress. She knew by experience that it was the kind of day likely to be fine. A slow-moving day, with a thin white mist that would lift later, and leave a scorch ing sun to do its worst. Poor daddy! What a curious idea for Parliament to sit in August, when all the schools and colleges and everything else of the kind were shut! Surely those old gentle men, who were mostly like her father, well-to-do, comfort-loving old gentlemen, could make what times they liked! If I was Parliament I should break up in early July, she thought. And then well, after all, July is very jolly, and so is June, and May. Why not sit in the Winter, when it's wet and foggy? How jolly the lavender smelt in the bed beneath her window, and - yes, there was Beal already rolling the tennis-lawn while the dew was upon it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
