Synopsis
Excerpt from Honour Without Renown
The equinoctial gales were at their highest. Loud boisterous winds scoured the peaceful valleys, bent the treetops and whistled through their almost leafless branches, leaving broad visible tracks of ruthless destruction in their course. Then, as if angered at the sturdy resistance offered by the stately oaks and sheltered woods of Baron Court, the storm tore up the hillsides and swept along the lonely moors as though to revenge it self in noisy and exultant glee upon the sparse, tall pine trees which in thin and irregular ranks crowned the highest hills and broke the other wise monotonous line of the horizon. Yet the force of the gale served but as pastime and sport for those old veteran firs; they merely bowed their dark green heads stiffly to the fury of the storm as it swept madly past, then rose again to their height, seeming to draw in with thirsty pleasure the sheets of pelting rain which dashed and beat with fury against their hard brown stems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous era, delves into the lives of three extraordinary women. It explores the choices they made in a world where societal expectations and personal desires often clashed. The author crafts a portrait of women who defied convention and, driven by a sense of duty and a deep well of compassion, embarked on paths that led them away from the comforts and social graces of their privileged upbringing. We encounter Lady Beatrice, who renounced her title and wealth to become a Sister of Charity, dedicating her life to serving the poor and sick. The narrative also delves into the stories of Marie Blake, who finds happiness and fulfillment as Countess de Woodville, and Margaret FitzAllen, whose journey is marked by hardship and ultimately leads to a life of love and contentment. Through their individual stories, the author explores themes of sacrifice, faith, and the enduring power of love in challenging circumstances. This insightful book offers a captivating glimpse into the lives of women who, in their own unique ways, shaped their destinies and left their mark on the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
