Excerpt from Dust of DesireOld enough to have learned wisdom, laughed Maureen. Somehow, in the face of those daffodils, she hated to admit to thirty-three. There is some thing very commonplace about age after you have passed thirty. Before that date it is just possible that each birthday may be a glorious adventure.If we wait so long, sighed Elise - her versatile mind switched on to another thought I shall be old myself. Do you know, I always used to think - this was when I was about seventeen - that I should commit suicide if I wasn't married before I was twenty-one - and I'm nineteen now!Yes, agreed Maureen, but as you grow older you advance the date. I used to plan myself not to bother to wash my teeth and brush my hair much after I was thirty. But I don't suppose one ever really gets too old for life.She laughed again and stood up. Staying to lunch, Elise 2 she said. Will be glad to have you.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
