125 – The Orchid, by Robert Grant. Part 02
We left this story a long time ago. The tale of a wilful young woman, who has agreed to marry a wealthy suitor and they are starting to build their life together. There is tension in the relationship, but the whole thing is almost guaranteed to put you asleep because it is not exciting. Until a prodigal son returns!
