Book excerpt: 'I believe you do. But we all do. We make a fetish of it. It seems to me sometimes almost the only good thing that has survived the war. Well, ' she went on, 'I have had the fortnight I begged for. A fortnight ago you asked me to marry you. You said you weren't in love with me but that you liked and respected me, that you thought we would get on well together.... You want me to be the mother of your children.' 'Yes, ' he said. 'I am not in love with you. I have been in love for a long while with somebody, somebody whom it is impossible for me to marry and someone who would not marry me even though it were possible. With the exception of this one person I would rather marry you than anyone in the world. I like you. I admire you. I think we could be good companions.' Her face was grave. 'I don't know about that, ' she said slowly. 'I have been very little with men in my life. I don't know how it would be. Giving you frankness for frankness the other day I told you that I did not love you in the least. But I like you. I would do all I could to make you happy if I married you. But my sister comes first-she will always come first. I loved my father-and I love my sister. Those have been the only two emotions in my life. Love her! I adore her. I am not exaggerating or using words without thinking about them when I say that I would die for her if it would give her what she wanted. And so if I marry you to give her what she wants, that isn't perhaps surprising so long as I tell you exactly how things are. And the way things are can't go on much longer. We've been alone now for ten years, she and I, and the last two have been-well, impossib
Download or read book Wintersmoon written by Hugh Walpole and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story swirls around Janet, a wellbred but poor woman who marries for companionship and security. Most of the book is about the characters around her-the good intentioned Purefoys who own the ancestral estate Wintersmoon, John Beauminster and Tom Seddon from The Duchess of Wrexe and Janet's younger, breezy sister Rosalind. Half of the book is about love, in its various forms: Janet falls in love with her husband, her husband desperately loves their son, Tom loves Rosalind but Rosalind loves no one but herself. It's rather histrionic, but the passing of some 80 years has not rendered it a meaningless puzzle.

Book excerpt: DEAR ELIZABETHYou told me once that you were bored with sequels, both in real life and in novels--this, if I remember correctly, was when I begged you to give us some more of Fräulein Schmidt's history.It would therefore be extremely impertinent of me to offer you a sequel--and this, in real life at least, I have hitherto succeeded in avoiding.Now also I take no risk. This story of Janet Grandison, her marriage and her sister, is no sequel to anything save that it is, of course, like all of us, a sequel to everything. What I really mean is that you need read no other book before it in order properly to understand it.But once upon a time, when I was young and credulous, I planned a Trilogy, called it 'The Rising City' and published the first volume of it, 'The Duchess of Wrexe.'So many people, older and wiser than I, told me that I was a fool to meddle with Trilogies, that I fancied myself Balzac, that readers hated presumption, and that novelists must be modest or they are nothing.Therefore I pretended to kill my Trilogy, hid my Rising City under a green mist, and went my way. Trilogies, however, cannot be killed like that; they are the most persistent things alive. The Trilogy became a Sequence. After 'The Duchess of Wrexe' came 'The Green Mirror' and after 'The Green Mirror' 'The Young Enchanted,' and now after 'The Young Enchanted' this 'Wintersmoon,' and after 'Wintersmoon'--who knows?Here, at any rate, in these four books, is my idea of some of the England of 1900 to 1927, and behind this there is also something else that holds them, in my fancy, together.And here are my four heroines, Rachel Seddon, Katherine and Millie Trenchard and Janet Grandison. But, because an author sees a connection in these things and has the conceit to look on his four books as one continuous work no compulsion is offered to the reader. 'Wintersmoon,' indeed, may be read as though it had no ancestors and intends no progeny.Above all, no compulsion is offered to yourself, dear Elizabeth, who rightly resent anything of the sort, anything that sounds too long to be borne.So, if you will read this book as a story about certain people who appear for an hour or two to be alive in their own world you will have done everything that your faithful friend, the author, asks of you.Yours affectionately, HUGH WALPOLE.
