Guy and Pauline
by Compton MacKenzie

ISBN/ASIN: B007FMRWES
Number of pages: 343
Description:
The slow train puffed away into the unadventurous country; and the bees buzzing round the wine-dark dahlias along the platform were once again audible. The last farewell that Guy Hazlewood flung over his shoulder to a parting friend was more casual than it would have been, had he not at the same moment been turning to ask the solitary porter how many cases of books awaited his disposition.
