Studies in love and in terror: Large Print

By: Lowndes, Marie Belloc

CLAIRE DE WISSANT, wife of Jacques de Wissant, Mayor of Falaise, stood in the morningsunlight, graceful with a proud, instinctive grace of poise and gesture, on a wind-blownpath close to the edge of the cliff.At some little distance to her left rose the sloping, mansard roofs of the Pavillon deWissant, the charming country house to which her husband had brought her, a seventeenyear old bride, ten long years ago.She was now gazing eagerly out to sea, shielding her grey, heavy-lidded eyes with herright hand. From her left hand hung a steel chain, to which was attached a small key.A hot haze lay heavily over the great sweep of deep blue waters. It blotted out the lowgrey line on the horizon which, on the majority of each year's days, reminds the citizens ofFalaise how near England is to France.
