Love Lies Dreaming

At breakfast Dewey suddenly exclaimed.
“Oh, confound it all! I’ve known some spoony couples in my time, but I’ve never seen a four years’ married couple hold hands at breakfast before.”
But I was past caring about what Dewey said.
And after breakfast Constance gave Mrs. Black notice. I hardly know who was more relieved—Constance at getting rid of Mrs. Black, or Mrs. Black at being free from us. So Mrs. Rundle will be returning soon. That brings us back again to where we started.
THE END
A Note on the Author
Cecil Scott “C.S.” Forester, born in Cairo in August 1899, was the fifth and last child of George Foster Smith and Sarah Medhurst Troughton. After finishing school at Dulwich College he attended Guy’s Medical School but failed to finish the course, preferring to write than study. However, it was not until he was aged twenty-seven that he earned enough from his writing to live on.
During the Second World War, Forester moved to the United States where he met a young British intelligence officer named Roald Dahl, whom he encouraged to write about his experiences in the RAF.
Forester’s most notable works were the Horatio Hornblower series, which depicted a Royal Navy officer during the Napoleonic era, and The African Queen (filmed in 1951 by John Huston). His novels A Ship of the Line and Flying Colours were jointly awarded the 1938 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.
