London (England) -- History -- 18th century -- Fiction
After a little. 'Alice, I have been proud of what men called my
loveliness. It makes every woman happy when men call her lovely. My Lord
called me lovely. Send him, Alice, a lock of my hair. Tell him that I
have never loved any other man.'
She died. We buried her in the little burial-ground where lay the child
we lost. We put up no headstone, but we planted the grave with white
flowers.
There is now another grave beside hers with more white flowers. It bears
the name of Alice.
To me it has been given to love two women at the same time, and that
with equal love and equal respect and without blame or sin.
