MP3 Audio CD. The Shadow of a Sin
CHAPTER I.
"She is coming--my own, my sweet;
Were it ever so airy a tread,
My heart would hear her and beat
Had it lain for a century dead."
A rich musical voice trolled out the words, not once, but many times
over--carelessly at first, and then the full sense of them seemed to
strike the singer.
"'Had it lain for a century dead,'" he repeated slowly. "Ah, me! the
difference between poetry and fact--when I have lain for a century dead,
the light footfalls of a fair woman will not awaken me. 'Beyond the sun,
woman's beauty and woman's love are of small account;' yet here--ah,
when will she come?"
The singer, who was growing impatient, was an exceedingly handsome young
man--of not more than twenty--with a face that challenged all
criticism--bright, careless, defiant, full of humor, yet with a gleam of
poetry--a face that girls and women judge instantly, and always like. He
did not look capable of wrong, this young lover, who sung his love-song
so cheerily, neither did he look capable of wicked thoughts.
"'You really must come, for I said
I would show the bright flowers their queen.'
