Book Cover & Preview Text
"Miss Czarina, shame on you, and you too Father Smythe, you ought to know better. I am surprised at you both. Rolling around out here like puppies at play."
Sitting up they pulled Sheila down beside them.Czarina threw her arms around her.
"Oh Sheila don't scold us today. We have something to tell you."
Father Smythe blushing,and smiling, as his words came bubbling out said,
"Sheila, I asked her and she said yes."
"You asked her and she said yes to what Father?"
"Sheila, Sheila, she said yes she will marry me."
"Well Father whatever took you so long?"
Pulling herself up from the grass with a straight back and her dignity still unruffled, she flounced off back to the house. She shouted over her shoulder,
"You had better come in here and get yourselves cleaned up, before someone gets the wrong idea and takes a bull whip to you both."

About the Book
Father Alex Smythe is a young parish priest visiting St. Agnes for the first time. St Agnes is a large and wealthy parish. He notices a young lady sitting up front with the junior choir. To him she seems to have no interest in the service or his sermon. Then he discovers that her attention is taken up with the sound of ball and bat of a game of cricket playing just out side the church windows. Even more shocking to his senses is that the girl is the soloist for the morning. When she stood and started to sing, his heart skipped a beat. Who is she, he wanted to know. She was Czarina Hollis the pride and joy of her family. There are more things in store for Father Smythe. Follow him and see how he wins his love and the heart of the town.
