Who Follows in Their Train?: A Syrian Romance (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Who Follows in Their Train?: A Syrian Romance

I do not have the sense of youi absence as strong here on this ship moving past the domes and min arets of the old city of Constantine, as I did when you stood on the dock in New York and I on the steamer, unable to touch you although I could see your dear face. I feel somehow that you have come along too, and will help me live this new life. What is the record going to be? Anything worth while?

Excerpt from Who Follows in Their Train?: A Syrian Romance
The cleavage is so sharp between the part of my life marked by the twenty-four years left behind me on the White Star dock eleven days ago, and that upon which I am entering, that I am beginning the record at once of the opening chapter of the second instalment of my life story in the Russia leather blank book you gave me, mother dear. I warn you it won't be a diary, but as near a one-sided talk with you as I can make it.
