Excerpt from The Woman He Loved, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel Voices. Wintry winds had whistled through the lea¿ess hedges, and sighed and moaned through the great arched oaks, whose lordly trunks had stood the blasts of many a blind ing storm, when the minute gun had boomed its piteous call for aid, heard high above the roaring of the breakers which beat upon the half-sunk rocks in angry milk-white foam. The robin's scarlet breast and twittering notes had given place to the gladsome songs of thrush and lark, for the spring had come again. But even that brief lapse of time had worked many and remarkable changes in the thriving little seaside town of Sidcombe. With the bursting of the leaf it, too, seemed to have emerged from the Chrysalis of its pristine state of sleepy indifference to the great world around it into the full-blown butter¿y existence of a small but fashionable' watering-place. Doubtless, the change had been taking place, though imperceptibly, for years, until suddenly it sprung into life. People who had money at their disposal had grown weary of the time they had spent each year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
