Encounter at Alpenrose

by Iris Bromige

On holiday people seem different, are different. This is Kate's own story of her month in a delectable Austrian village where John Castleford, the kind, safe older man she was on the verge of marrying, and Gareth, who made a totally unexpected appearance - she had broken off her engagement to him quite finally four years before - both showed themselves in a new light. Nor was Kate herself the composed and competent woman for whom John had such admiration and affection. In these surroundings she was adventurous, happy, but also disturbed by deep feelings she had thought quelled in her long ago.
