O knihe

Excerpt from The Mortimers: A Novel

There was a silence which gradually threatened the conversation with an admission of baf¿ed defeat till Digby Mortimer broke it as one who makes the best of a bad job. She was staying in rooms in Half Moon Street. That elderly cousin of sorts, Miss Hall - a nice woman, who said she had heard from you occasionally while Sara was lost - hovered about, went shopping with her and all that. Your wife bought lots of clothes and seemed to enjoy it. But she was working hard; tremendously so. When she was not interviewing Cabinet Ministers she was speaking. I heard her once, at the Central Hall, Westminster. Very fine. There was some opposition, which was fairly demonstrative and lively, and she kept her end up well. I am told she spoke less well at the Albert Hall - it's too big for a woman - and better in the north, where she enlightened Labour. She would not write a word. Hates the sight of ink, she told me. Publishers and editors shed tears in vain. Sensible woman.
