[Life and Gabriella by Ellen Glasgow]@TWC D-Link bookLife and Gabriella CHAPTER I 13/47
She had on a huge bunch of violets, and Cousin Pussy tells me another man is paying her the most devoted attention.
Please don't mention this to a soul--I hate so to spread gossip--but I felt that you ought to be prepared, for Florrie will certainly come to see you, and you must be kind and polite to her, though I do not think you ought ever to be intimate again.
