A propos de cet article

We were bound together in a strange way, Brandon and I. We both loved the same man. But the fact that I too loved Conrad Coberly, was a secret I shared only with my dreams.for I was born with a crooked back. Yet, I assure you a crooked back does not rob a girl of the same intense feelings she would know were she straight and beautiful as.well, as the woman called Brandon. We saw her first on a bleak wind-swept October day in that fateful year of 1865. We had opened our summer house on the New Jersey shore, and heard that Mrs. Coberly was also spending the winter at the shore. I promptly ordered the carriage, and rode over to pay a call, with my brother Brett along for moral support (Brett, who had returned from the war unharmed in face or figure, but with his mind crushed back into the shadows.) We knocked on the door. I had expected to be greeted by a servant, or by Conrad's mother, or perhaps-and my heart beat faster-by Conrad himself. But the door was opened instead by a young woman.the most beautiful creature I had ever seen! Gardenia-white skin, hair silken black, violet eyes, full breasts which strained her tight black bodice. "We.we heard that Mrs. Coberly was here," I managed to say. The woman laughed. "You heard right, honey! That's who I am. Mrs. Conrad Coberly. My first name's Brandon. Come on inside." I'm Conrad's wife! It soon became clear that Brandon loved Conrad, loved him with an intense passion which equaled my own. Yet, within a week-she lured my brother to her bed in the dark of night! Within a month she was accepting money from Brett, saving it, she told him, so that they might run away together. But before that day, there came another man. I met him on the roadside, tall, thin fellow with threadbare clothes. He stopped me as I rode past, "Excuse me, Miss. I'm lookin' for a girl named Brandon. My people down in North Carolina told me I'd find her here. I've walked all the way." I did not answer, but sat numb and silent in my carriage. He had been without her for three years, he had been in a Yankee prison camp yearning for her. Turns out Brandon was his wife.…
