Excerpt from The Leaven of Love: A NovelON the wide sweep of Regina Beach, the rollers advanced like an army with snowy banners. The March dusk was falling, and in the patio of the mammoth hotel by the waterside a woman's white gown glimmered amid the tropical foliage. There was no one else in the garden. There were few guests in the fashionable resort who were not either afraid of the night air among the palms, or made restless by the hush of the place.Within the glittering spaces of the hotel, women chattered and exhibited their toilets, or promenaded with their escorts on the long piazzas. Some had sought the famous Southern Californian resort in pursuit of health, some to escape the spring rigors of the North, some for the sweet sake of their favorite out-door sports, and some merely to change the place - though they must keep the pain - of life's boredom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
