Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Treherne's Temptation, Vol. 2 of 3
The finale is so totally different to what he intended that he cannot refrain from smiling at its feebleness.
Reine glances up at his face uneasily, perturbed by the passionate outbreak, chilled by the unna tural calm which succeeds Treherne, whose character used to be patent to her as the day, is rapidly becoming an enigma; that he is a prey to some sorrow which embitters his existence she feels convinced, and woman-like she concludes it must of necessity be connected with a woman.
I am not married, nor going to be when I am it will be time enough to prove which of us is right, she answers quietly.
He draws her hand through his arm, and turns round impatiently. Let us go into the Tuileries Gardens; it will be quieter there, and I never felt more disinclined to face the vulgar herd.
