Some wonen are destined to arouse in men either fierce hatred or insatiable desire. Such a woman was Katie Mulholland. At fifteen, a scullery maid in the house of the Rosires, she had been raped by the master. Now, many years later, she had enough money to maintain three carriages if she wanted to and she was on her way to see Bernard Rosier under very different circumstances. There was no pride in Katie Mulholland"s heart, however, only fear, for half of Tyneside still talked about the way she had flouted convention, and sniggered about the way she had made her money. So she had decided that her only hope was to climb above them, and that she would conquer her fear with power . . . Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Katie Mulholland (Cookson, Catherine)
