Quote from this book "She thought I'll wait ten minures more and rose and went swiftly to the window beyond the big stone Pearl Fisher. She walked swiftly and light, saying, Sorry. Not just now. Hello. Sorry. Hello Max. Not just now, thanks, and then she stood against the big tall window looking east into the dark spattered with lights and rain. She set her shoulders and her thoughts against the room, she stood very still by the window and thought, Surely it's not lost, there must be a place in me where it's hidden, surely I'll find it again. Behind her someone laughed like a ferryboat shouldering thick fog. That was Kletkin. She turned and looked toward the laugh, and she found Kletkin smiling at her through the smoke and voices. Whenever she looked at Kletkin she felt a warmth around her heart, his name was a hand warming it. She looked at him and asked, and still smiling he shook his head. He stood there talking and smiling at her over people's heads. Kletkin the eagle in the humming-bird's nest." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
