Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reata, Vol. 3 of 3: What's in a Name
The Shock of discovering that her heart was not broken, that her life was not blighted, and that She did not love Otto, was a severe one to Reata; but she got over it, as one gets over worse Shocks in life. She was puzzled and horrified at herself; she took long walks alone, as She had done in the first days of her sorrow; and She wrote many entries in her diary. One of these was as follows vol. III.
I am not going into a convent; I am not going to cut off my hair, nor to dig my grave, nor to keep silence for the rest of my life. Where shall I go? I do not know, but I must go before they find out. I cannot go While Gabrielle is so weak, and I do not want to make any disturbance.
She Will be here, I hope, in July, and everything will be right then.
It is dreadful to think that after all I have gone through my heart is not broken; but there is no use in denying that I still care about some things, about hearing the birds sing, and about gathering ?owers and I often laugh and feel amused, really amused.
