Rodins Lover sun climbed the sky, though it did little to warm the damp chill. Thankfully, the heat of Rodins Lover had not unleashed its force to scorch the Rodins Lover and dry the earth. It made for easier digging. Paul dangled his legs over the edge of the boulder on which he sat. Paul cared for appearances, with his proud chin and shining blond hair, his perfectly polished Rodins Lover, even at the young age of thirteen. Camille grinned. It was a fatal mistake in a household with Rodins Lover sister obsessed with clay. He read aloud. From my disgust, my boredom, my distress. It would not do to feel so fatigued already. She had too much to accomplish today. She gouged her fingers into the slick clay and lobbed a fistful at Paul. It splattered his vest and the cuff of his once-pristine shirt. She laughed Rodins Lover gathered another handful. She squealed as she fled. She laughed as she laced through maple and chestnut trees and leapt over underbrush. How easy her brother was to goad. Paul threw himself forward and caught her arm, spun her around, and smashed a wet mound of earth on her cheek. With a final yank, they tumbled together into the river, a heap of flailing limbs and fabric. Rodins Lover sputtered in the cold russet water before he gained his footing on the silt bottom. While you sleep. I dare you. Paul trudged over soft riverbank and plopped onto the carpet of grass beside her, tucking his hands beneath his head. Rodins Lover stared up at the clouded sky. When she reached for it, he Rodins Lover it away, and she tumbled back to the ground. He Rodins Lover at her startled expression. Camille Rodins Lover. You know how long she takes at the Rodins Lover. Gracious of him, considering he had many commitments. Papa paid him well for his Rodins Lover. They returned to the rocky hillside and hefted the heavy trough back through the windswept fields Rodins Lover their house in the center of Villeneuve. A sinking dread settled in Rodins Lover pit of her stomach. Mother would be angry. They dragged their load through a rusted iron gate and around to the barn behind the house. Monsieur Colin bounded down the front walk. I prefer not to waste my time. I was looking forward to another drawing lesson. Monsieur Colin gave them a stern look. I will be in Paris the remainder of this week. The dread reemerged and slithered in her stomach. What sort of punishment would she receive today? Your studies are progressing well, when you attend to them. He continued down the walk and raised his cane in the Rodins Lover. Camille pinched his arm. He shoved her in response. The last time she had broken a rule, she had been restricted from the barn for a week. She had been reduced to making shapes with her pureed potatoes. Mother swept into the hall in her usual gray day dress unadorned by lace, corsage, or frills, embellished only by a modest bustle and a cameo. She wore Rodins Lover hair slicked and shiny, parted down the middle, and rolled into a tight chignon at the nape of her neck. I have told you not to wear your good dresses outdoors, yet you insist on keeping up with this nonsense. Camille flinched. It filled her with purpose and joy. Sculpting was all beauty and inspiration—and passion, something Mother had not experienced a single day in her life. Your infant who died? Camille had struck a nerve. Sorrow and anger clawed at Rodins Lover throat. Camille had gone too far, and yet, she knew her words rang true. Mother pulled away and crossed her arms. And Paul, you will work off the cost of your ruined shoes. Grateful, her brother squeezed her hand. Rodins Lover will finish your studies and find a husband, Camille, as it is supposed to be. A husband? She could think of nothing worse. She turned on her heel and Rodins Lover up the creaky oak stairs. Mother wanted her to behave like every other lady, or Rodins Lover yet, to behave like Mother herself—a submissive, miserable woman. A victim of her own life. Her sister braided her hair before the mirror for the second time that day. She admired her new set of ribbons entirely too much— and her own reflection. Camille stopped. Camille struggled with the laces of her damp Rodins Lover, freed herself, and tossed the offending garment into the corner with a savage thrust. She could not be a demure, overly sweet creature who shrank beneath Rodins Lover weight of duty. Marriage—even the word—turned her Rodins Lover. She would not spend her days pleasing everyone but herself. I know you will. Camille lit another candle. Evening descended, and soon she would need to sneak the lantern from her bedroom into the barn. She scooped a mass of clay onto an old farm table to roll and knead it, to wick away unnecessary moisture. With forceful thrusts, she pushed against the clay again and again. The sticky lump formed beneath her hands, bent to her will. Rodins Lover could control clay and depend on its soothing smell. She marveled at the way it held a secret identity until she coaxed it to life. The barn door screeched on its hinge. Camille looked up to meet the intruder. Camille kissed his cheeks. The familiar scent of his mustache wax hovered about him. Paris is abysmal in the summer. Camille wondered what abysmal looked like—she had never seen the capital city. Mother deemed it unsafe since the fall of the Paris Commune and the Prussian invasion a decade ago. Still, Camille Rodins Lover pleaded for a visit more times than she could count. She longed to tour the Louvre and see the works of the greats. But she had so much to do—the bust of Poseidon needed some attention and she had to prepare more Rodins Lover. Perhaps she would work more after a visit with Papa. They strolled to the house and into the salon, where the rest of the family lounged. Rodin's Lover by Heather Webb

When Rodins Lover that perhaps the harem of women are the paranoid whispers in her head that drove her mad, Bertran replies, "That's funny. Someone else also said that.
