Marion (Francis Marion) title: In the Palace of the King: A Love Story of Old Madrid date: None words: 98535 flesch: 85 summary: The time had seemed an age since she had fallen upon dead Don John--it had measured but a short few minutes; it seemed as if she were being dragged the whole length of the dim palace as the strong hands bore her along, yet she was only carried from the room to the terrace; and when her eyes could see, she knew that she was in the open air on a stone seat in the moonlight, the cool night breeze fanning her face, while a gentle hand supported her head,--the same hand that had been so masterfully strong a moment earlier. With a cry of anger Don John fell straight backwards, his feet seeming to slip from under him on the smooth marble pavement, and with his fall, as he threw out his hands to save himself, the sword flew high into the air, sheathed as it was, and landed far away. keywords: brother; court; dead; dolores; don john; door; eyes; face; father; girl; half; hand; head; heart; inez; king; left; life; light; little; love; majesty; man; mendoza; moment; perez; philip; princess; room; think; thought; time; voice; way; woman; words; world cache: 13243.txt plain text: 13243.txt item: #2 of 9 id: 18876 author: Blasco Ibáñez, Vicente title: Woman Triumphant (La Maja Desnuda) date: None words: 99957 flesch: 79 summary: Josephina was different from other women who hardly aroused his desire.
