Excerpt from My Love

And with this prayer, which seemed to carry both his love and his joy to heaven there to be strengthened and purified, the train ground slowly up to Highwood Station and Cyril leaped lightly out. It was past five o'clock - about four hours to wait before a visit to Rose Hill, where the Brans combes lived was possible even for an engaged man to make. But to one impatient and in love, it is better to travel all night and wait those four hours on the right side of the line, than to go to bed like an ordinary mortal and come down by the morning mail - better a thousand times to lose a night's rest and undergo unnecessary fatigue than to forego two hours of love and gain six of repose!
