Mrs Grey’s Strange Silence
When Mrs Grey unexpectedly stops speaking to a close acquaintance, her silence is quickly interpreted as coldness and disapproval. Assumptions spread, feelings are wounded and a friendship begins to suffer, all before anyone has stopped to ask what might really have happened.
This brief Victorian story by Ruth Lamb explores the danger of gossip, the harm caused by hasty judgement and the humility required to admit when we have been wrong. Warm, thoughtful and quietly challenging, it offers a lasting reminder that there may be more behind another person’s actions than we can see.

Midst Granite Hills: The Story of a Dartmoor Holiday
Grace Erith has sacrificed her work, her security and the last of her treasured possessions to care for her seriously ill brother. When Arthur Seaton learns of their difficulties, he quietly arranges for them to spend a restorative holiday amid the granite hills and open moors of Dartmoor.
Arthur’s intentions are generous, but his help reaches further into Grace’s private life than she ever permitted. What he sees as kindness leaves her feeling exposed and humiliated. As affection grows between them, both must confront the pride, misunderstanding and wounded feelings that stand in the way of reconciliation.
