Her past was tense, poor Sally McGraw Perched on that fence, neither either nor or, Plucking a flower, he loves me or not Driving her crazy, forget-him-the clot. But Harold McGee’s principle weakness Is plain, you see – a crippling shyness; Harold loves Sally, and that awful defect Will not stop them marrying, their future is perfect.
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published four books - Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle, My Father and Other Liars, Salisbury Square and Buster & Moo. In addition I have published three anthologies of short stories and a memoir of my mother. More will appear soon. I will try and continue to blog regularly at geofflepard.com about whatever takes my fancy. I hope it does yours too.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
hmmmm…….marriage didn’t change the frustration of dating, with him being quiet and her always waiting, with them both too late learning, that he could only express his yearning, in writing.
This is beautiful and perfect and really cheered me up today 💜

I wonder how many potential relationships died on the altar of crippling shyness?
