Excerpt from The Image of Eve: A Romance With AlleviationsI have been thinking of you very often of late, and I am not quite happy about you. More than that, I am not sure that we - this household, I mean, and some of your other friends - are doing our duty by you. We so delight in your cheering society, we so enjoy what we call 'having you round, ' we give you no chance to be desolate or lonely, as an old bachelor should properly feel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
