Explore "Two Bad Blue Eyes" by Eliza Margaret Jane Humphreys on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Keith Athelstone goes home that night to his rooms, and feels in his heart that he has been a coward.
He knows he has had no right to wring from a woman's weakness such a concession as that which he has won from Lauraine. She is not of the stuff that heroines are made of, and truly there is no "heroic" element about himself. It is a great mistake to fancy people are either very good or very bad in this world of ours. Only too often there is simply a mixture of both in their characters, and circumstances or strength of feeling alternately throw their weight into the balance.
