Explore "A Bride of a Summer's Day" by Catherine Louisa Pirkis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The "beginning of next week" saw Clive on his way back from Florence, and Lord Culvers and his family comfortably settled in their country house; but it brought never a word of tidings of or from the missing bride.
There could be no doubt about it, Lord Culvers was beginning to get seriously uneasy; his geniality of manner appeared to be departing from him; he began to grow silent and abstracted; he would fall occasionally into deep reveries, from which he would awaken with a start, and give short, sharp answers to anyone who chanced to address him.
