The Summer Day Is Done — R.T. Stevens
The haunting story of a forbidden love between the agent of the British king and the daughter of the Imperial Czar.
From a window of the Imperial train
A Young Girl Looked Out
Startled blue eyes met his. He was aware of a girl soft with colour and enchantment. The warm sunlight danced on the window, was reflected in her eyes and made a shining cloud of her chestnut-blonde hair. He felt the strangest sense of indefinable communication as in shy, suspended animation she returned his gaze, the train bringing her to him, taking her away. The fleeting seconds stretched. He could not resist smiling. And at the very last moment before she vanished, she gave him the shyest of smiles in response.
It was the first time John Kirby, British secret agent, saw Grand Duchess Olga. It was the beginning of a tender love that would blossom in the summer's sun while the storm of the Russian revolution gathered. A perilous precious love -- all the more beautiful because it was never meant to be.
