Product Description

Excerpt from The Woman Herself

Suddenly it broke into a myriad prism colours and lights. It was gorgeous - beautiful past de scription. I thought of the Kremlin. I looked for the moon - it was gone; for the stars - they were blotted out. But close beside me were two eyes - warm eyes that humanized the horrible light, and a voice saying Don't be afraid; there is no danger.

No danger! I fetched a long breath and said good-night, and realized that brain and spine were aching as if after a strain. Yet only a shiver had gone over me.
