Curing Christopher

Excerpt from Curing ChristopherBefore he had known her a week she filled his thoughts to the exclusion of everything else; and by the end of the month he was in a state of grove] ling adoration which made him look a much bigger fool than he really was by nature. He did not, however, in the least mind looking a fool. He felt that it was somehow to his credit - the hall mark of the true lover and he gloried in his folly almost as much as he enjoyed his yearnings and longings, telling himself that he had never until he met Lebah known the meaning either of Love or of Life itself. This period of enjoyment was very brief - indeed Christopher himself had hardly re cognized it as such, so beset with hopes and fears was he - before Amy came back and put a sudden end to it. Not intentionally, for of course she had never heard of Lebah, and Christopher meant to take very good care that she never should do so; but none the less effectually did she rope him in with those silken threads of duty, affection, and conventionality, which are the strongest assets of the good and faithful wife.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
