Her Reputation

Talbot Mundy

There are hours of promises, and zero hour; promises initially, which are sometimes even sweeter than their execution. Jacqueline Lanier did not fully realize the time of heyday, and therefore contours of young charm were not tempered by the usual self-affirmation. Therefore, when she was under the care of Desmoe, she knew that between the emotions of gratitude, the philosophy that comes later in life when we are forced to try to explain their mistakes is not very accessible.
