Excerpt from A Life for a Life, Vol. 3 of 3

Thrice a bridesmaid, never a bride. Even so. Yet, would I change lots with our bride Penelope, or any other bride? No.
Now that my mind has settled to its usual level; has had time to view things calmly, to satisfy itself that nothing could have been done different from what has been done; I may, at last, be able to detail these events. For both Max's sake and my own, it seems best to do it, unless I could make up my mind to destroy my whole journal. An nu finished record is worse than none. During our lifetimes we shall both preserve our secret; but many a chance brings dark things to light; and I have my Max's honour to guard, as well as my own.
