Ruth reddened, and tears sprang to her eyes; but she was so conscious of the falsity of the accusation, that she rebuked herself for being moved by it, and, raising her head, gave a proud look round, as if in appeal to her companions.
Ruth thought it was too strong a realisation of her hopes, and looked for an over-clouding at noon; but the glory endured, and at two o'clock she was in the Leasowes, with a beating heart full of joy, longing to stop the hours, which would pass too quickly through the afternoon.
Ruth was quite unconscious of being the object of remark; and, in her light, rapid passings to and fro, had never looked at the doors and windows, where many watchers stood observing her, and commenting upon her situation or her appearance.
ElizabethRuth is currently teaching a course at the University of Toronto.
ElizabethRuth: No. I write literary fiction, so Im not usually thinking genre in the conventional sense of detective fiction or mysteries, though it would be a great challenge and a lot of fun to try and write either of those.
ElizabethRuth: When someone reads one of my books for the first time, when they come to the end, I hope they feel theyve been taken away to a vibrant, verdant, living place where anything is possible.
