The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940
Gann, William D. (William Delbert)
Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
Robert was anxious to see Silver Springs and Lady Bersford was anxious
for him to go and see it immediately and said that after their return
she would see the interpreter and get the mysterious letter read. They
went to the Springs and slowly rowed out on the beautiful waters.
Robert had heard the story and when the boat slowly came to a stop
over "The Bridal Chamber" and he saw the face of a beautiful woman in
the rocks his heart almost failed him. He thought of the sorrows he
had gone thru and wondered if such a fate might have been Marie's.
The beautiful waters reflected the most radiant colors Robert had
ever seen in his life. He secretly prayed the greatest prayer of
his life, that he might meet Marie here and with all of her beauty,
where they could enjoy the beauty of nature together. When he looked
thru the transparent waters into the bridal chamber, it brought him
back to Sunday morning, June 5, 1927, when he had expected to marry
Marie. Tears streamed down his cheeks and Lady Bersford realizing the
situation and knowing that she could say little, remained in silence
until Robert's emotions had passed. Then she told of her admiration for
his love and devotion to Marie and said that a scene like this, painted
by the hand of Nature was calculated to melt the heart of the most
cold-blooded man on earth. Robert asked the man who was rowing the boat
to row back to the place where the face of the spirit bride showed in
the water and as he looked down at the face again, he thought of Marie
and this is what he said: "Most beautiful face in all the world, best
beloved eyes that inspired the best in me, the days pass by on leaden
wings, when only in memory your dear eyes shine for me." Somehow the
beautiful waters and the scenery inspired a new hope in Robert, for
love must ever inspire hope in man when his faith in a woman keeps the
lovelight burning on the altar of his heart.
