THE TAPESTRY OF LOVE : PART TWENTY-THREE

Candelas was free to come and go unaccompanied at will, for none questioned her movements: what need was there to question the comings and goings of one so virtuous and chaste?

THE TAPESTRY OF LOVE : PART TWENTY-ONE

The Fountain of Candelas 1484 It was in a land which gazes at Africa across a well-nigh tide-less sea: it was in a distant, fabled time; and in a season of that time when the earth lay seared with heat as is a hearth beneath a fire that the story of Candelas unfolds. Candelas was the favoured only... Sign in to see full entry.

THE TAPESTRY OF LOVE : PART TWENTY

Miss Jane. September 1944. Jane lay in bed in the early Sunday morning darkness, after having tossed and turned most of the night, wild and highly disturbing phantasmagorical images flickering like a badly wound film reel behind her eyelids, and several times she had cried out and almost sat up....

THE TAPESTRY OF LOVE : PART EIGHTEEN

Jane and Julia. September 1944 Jane wondered how she herself would feel if she had been made by their father to give her baby up in that way; her Helen, as she had already decided to name her – hand her over to strangers as soon as she was born.

THE TAPESTRY OF LOVE : PART SEVENTEEN

Jane and Julia. September 1944.
