A Spanish Maid (Classic Reprint) by Lilian Quiller Couch Pdf
Excerpt from A Spanish Maid The afternoon sun glared down upon the plain and upon the one rough tent which alone broke the even stretch of the ground. All around lay silence and a dry, dazzling desolation as if the world were dead and the sun had come here to gloat upon his own superior longevity. East, west, north, south, as far as an eye could see, the bare land stretched until it met the wonderful, radiating sky, with never a mound or a hillock to cast a shadow or shut the view. Nothing but the solitary tent, and, at the back of that tent, a woman - dead. There were no comforts here for the easing of death; not the commonest aids or simplest reliefs.
