Gentle Reader,I know I've committed an unpardonable act. I should never have read Miss Liza Cranshaw's letters. I assure you I never intended to wrong her. But now that I've learned of her desperate straits, how can I ignore her plight?Miss Cranshaw is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. She is being blackmailed into marriage by a wretched nobleman greedy for her dowry. Naturally, I cannot ignore a damsel in distress --- especially one so lovely and so charming --- and am determined to prevent this disastrous union for her sake, though I must admit she has stirred my soul in ways I had not thought possible.I am aware of my reputation as a rake and one who has never had more than a passing acquaintance with constancy. And I admit I am a stone's throw away from debtor's prison --- through no fault of my own, I hasten to add. Misfortune, however, is no impediment to heroism. I vow, Gentle Reader, that I will restore my fortune and rescue Miss Cranshaw --- before I land in prison. Just, I beg of you, do not tell her about the letters!Very truly yours,Jack Fairchild, Esq.
„Einmal im Jahr, um die Zeit der ersten Schneestürme, öffneten sie die Haustür ganz weit und schleppten einen riesigen Tannenbaum herein. Die gleichen Leute, die ihn schimpften, wenn er mit schmutzigen Pfoten ankam, kümmerten sich auf einmal nicht mehr um Ungeziefer, Dreck oder Matsch. Dann hängten sie glitzernde Sachen an seine Zweige und schmückten ihn von oben bis unten mit einer blinkenden Lichterkette. Jeder, der zu Besuch kam, begab sich zu dem Baum, und man tauschte Geschenke aus, die nicht halb so vielo Spaß machten wie Katzenminze oder eine Garnrolle. Wenn man es recht bedenkt, war es eine höchst seltsame Zeit im Jahr.“ (Lynn Kurland) Vier Erfolgsautorinnen des romantischen Romans präsentieren weihnachtlich-zauberhafte Katzengeschichten für alle Freunde der schnurrenden Samtpfoten.
