Excerpt from My Love, Vol. 3 of 3

Here! - of all places in the world, this! The widow started at the sound of Colonel Moneypenny's voice as if he had been a spirit called from out the infinite by the spell of her desire. She looked up with a frightened and bewildered face. The guard which she usually maintained with so much care was suddenly broken down, and she was as confused and overcome as any other woman might have been. Had she been a mere school-girl met out of bounds, or caught in the act of stealing sacred apples, she could not have been more abashed for the moment than now, when Colonel Moneypenny woke her from her dreaming wrath and took her hand to lead her to his house for shelter.
