Leave Cancelled
About this book
Tey had 21 hours in which to be together. They were to have ad more, but at the last moment his leave was cancelled. So they had but 21 hours in which to savor the full quality of their relationship - in which to talk, to laugh, to understand and forgive, in which to love with all te passion of first fulfillment. For this brief span of time was a sweet-sad miniature both of the honeymoon they had denied and of the whole rich life together which they looked forward to and could only pray would not be denied them. From these few precious hours they must derive sustenance for the present and hope for the future.This is the full and honest recollection of every fleeting moment of that 21 hours - in the memories the man carried away with him, alive and warm and deeply cherished. It is a story that will go straight to the hearts of every bride and groom, so faithfully does it mirror their experience, their aspirations. It will be just as profoundly moving to all those who know or have known love - especially to those who remember the poignancy of the too brief satisfaction of love in a life inexorably bounded by time.
