Those precious children. The adults who could have been my colleagues. This wonderful book has been my refuge. A chapter a night to help me sleep...<br /><br />I love it. It's in my top ten. I think perhaps the great Betty did her best work here in conveying the sadness of the heroine's thinking she would never have the love of the hero.<br /><br />I'm with Betty van den Betsy on that kiss. Wowzers. It's a knock your socks off kind of scene for Betty! The smooching at the end of the wonderful Fate Is Remarkable and also at the end of A Suitable Match are too. “But the professor wasn't laughing.” Swoon. I usually read that scene three times before I go on.<br /><br />Betty AnoninTXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-70766396593222821052012-12-16T08:00:17.472-08:002012-12-16T08:00:17.472-08:00The Mennonite Girls include an Anneliese!

The kiss hadn't been asocial peck; it had lingered far too long. And besides, she had the odd feeling that something was alight inside her, giving her the pleasant feeling that she could float in the air if she wished. If that was what a kiss did to one, she thought hazily, then one must avoid being kissed again," as well as, “He was staring down at her, an odd look on his face," seem to me about as graphic as Betty ever gets. But, if you're willing to exercise a skosh of imagination, they're really <i>quite</i> graphic. Or perhaps I just have a filthily twisted mind, which has never manifested itself before now.Betty van den Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462647734423787992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-10434405609783806732012-12-12T15:22:11.917-08:002012-12-12T15:22:11.917-08:00Betty Barbara here--
