Prue Phillipson - Hordens Of Horden Hall - Plot & Excerpts
They were tears of fury at herself. Why had she shouted out those hurtful words? They had hurt her when they were spoken not because she cared for Daniel at that stage but because they confirmed what she knew too well that she was an object no one would ever care about. Then had come the vision of him at the door of her room and she had believed for a moment that he did care. It was a wondrous moment but could never have any consequences for her. His next words, his pursuing her down the stairs, his speaking up in the hallway were drops of balm to her soul even though she had had to rebuff them. Why then, on hearing the contents of her grandmother’s letter, had she so stupidly shouted out his earlier remark which she was not supposed to have heard?The idea of loving me, she told herself, was preposterous, he did say it, but of course it was. I had been rude to him. I have never learnt how to speak to people, much less a young man. Did he and his parents really only come to say goodbye?
