The Story Girl ¶ The Golden Road ¶ Kilmeny of the Orchard Seal Books by Lucy Maud Montgomery ¶ Ask your bookseller for the books you have missed Before Eric could recover his wits she had vanished from his sight … Without a sound she fled across the orchard, through a gap in the northern fence and along a lane bordering the fir wood beyond. Every hint of colour left her face and she trembled like a wind-stirred June lily. She sprang to her feet, the music breaking in mid-strain and the bow slipping from her hand to the grass. The sudden change that swept over her was startling. Presently she looked away from the sunset and her lovely eyes fell on Eric, standing motionless before her in the shadow of the apple tree. But he knew at once, beyond all possibility of doubt, that he had never seen or imagined anything so exquisite as this girl of the orchard. He had, in his twenty-four years of life, met hundreds of pretty women. The picture she made photographed itself on his vision to the finest detail, never to be blotted from his book of remembrance. For a few moments he stood there and looked at her. Her eyes were on the faraway horizon and she did not see Eric. Under the white lilac tree was an old, sagging wooden bench and on this bench a girl sat playing a violin. And there is nothing he wants more than for Kilmeny to return his love. But she is mute, cannot speak, and Eric is concerned for and bewitched by this shy, sensitive, blue-eyed girl.įor the first time in his life, Eric must work hard for something he wants badly. With jet-black hair and the face of a Renaissance Madonna, Kilmeny immediately captures the young man’s heart. Then fate, which has been more than generous to Eric, throws in his path a beautiful, mysterious girl named Kilmeny Gordon. Dark and handsome, the son of a wealthy merchant, Eric has a bright future in the family business and has taken the two-month teaching post only as a favor to a friend. To the small village of Lindsay on Prince Edward Island comes Eric Marshall, a twenty-four-year-old substitute schoolteacher. The poignant story of a young teacher who must overcome impossible obstacles to win the girl he loves.
