LOVE'S SHADOW
ADA LEVERSON
First Published London, 1908.
Love like a shadow flies When substance love pursues; Pursuing that that flies, And flying what pursues.
SHAKESPEARE
Hyacinth
'Certainly not, Bruce,' answered Edith sedately. She was seated opposite her husband at breakfast in a very new, very small, very white flat in Knightsbridge--exactly like thousands of other new, small, white flats. She was young and pretty, but not obvious. One might suppose that she was more subtle than was shown by her usual expression, which was merely cheerful and intelligent.
'Now I have to write that letter before I go,' Bruce exclaimed, starting up and looking at her reproachfully. 'Why didn't I write it last night?'
Edith hadn't the slightest idea, as she had heard nothing of the letter before, but, in the course of three years, she had learnt that it saved time to accept trifling injustices. So she looked guilty and a little remorseful. He magnanimously forgave her, and began to write the letter at a neat white writing-table.
'How many g's are there in "Raggett"?' he asked suspiciously.
She didn't answer, apparently overtaken by a sudden fit of absence of mind.
'Only one, of course. How absurd you are!' said her husband, laughing, as he finished the letter and came back to the table.
