He stood in her doorway like a man who had forgotten why he came and was afraid to ask. "I require a burial shroud," he said. "For my wife." Eleanor Ashworth set down her thimble and looked at him properly. He was a man of means — the cut...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 780 Visualizações 0 Anterior
