Roses and Rain

Excerpt from Roses and Rain

We talked, not of politics, not of war or of diplomacy - not even of the high cost of living, or of the effect of the vote upon women.

We talked of books and poetry, and of music, and one told a quaint little story of a wounded pigeon, and the rescue of it, and the fire burned and the wind sang, and gradually the stress of the world and the anxiety and restless, uneasy ambition of it fell from us like an outworn cloak. And there we were, like little children, talking together in the twilight of some great primeval forest.
