Excerpt from The Woman in White, Vol. 2Blackwater Park, Hampshire. June 27, 1850. - Six months to look back ou - six long, lonely months, since Laura and I last saw each other!How many days have I still to wait? Only one! To-morrow, the twenty-eighth, the travellers return to England. I can hardly realize my own happiness, I can hardly believe that the next four-and-twenty hours will complete the last day of separation between Laura and me.She and her husband have been in Italy all the winter, and afterwards in the Tyrol. They come back, accompanied by Count Fosco and his wife, who pro pose to settle somewhere in the neighbourhood of London, and who have engaged to stay at Blackwater Park for the summer months before deciding on a place of residence. So long as Laura returns, no matter who returns with her. Sir Percival may fill the house from ¿oor to ceiling, if he likes, on condition that his wife and I inhabit it together.Meanwhile, here I am, established at Blackwater Park, the ancient and interesting seat (as the county history obligingly informs me) of Sir Percival Glyde, Bart. - and the future abiding-place (as I may now venture to add, on my account) of plain Marian Halcombe, Spinster, now settled in a snug little sitting room, with a cup of tea by her side, and all her earthly possessions ranged round her in three boxes and a bag.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
