[Gutenberg 48022] • Aurora Floyd, Vol. 3 / Fifth Edition

Excerpt from Aurora Floyd, Vol. 2 of 3

"Love took up the glass of time, and turned it in his glowing hands."

Talbot Bulstrode yielded at last to John's repeated invitations, and consented to pass a couple of days at Mellish Park.

He despised and hated himself for the absurd concession. In what a pitiful farce had the tragedy ended! A visitor in the house of his rival. A calm spectator of Aurora's every-day, common-place happiness. For the space of two days he had consented to occupy this most preposterous position. Two days only; then back to the Cornish miners, and the desolate bachelor's lodgings in Queen's Square, Westminster; back to his tent in life's Great Sahara.
