NURSE IN INDIA by Juliet Armstrong Can one bury the past? Put it behind one forever? Nurse Stella Hantley, travelling in India as secretary-nurse to kind Miss Jellings, would have answered "Yes" to that question. She found it hard to believe that she had ever danced on the stage and dreamed of becoming a star; and the episode which had shattered her career was little more than a shadowy memory. She was safe now and could reach out to take the happiiness which Roger Fendish, she knew, was on the point of offering her- and then Allegra, lovely and treacherous, came suddenly back into herlife, seeking for a second tme to rob her of all she valued. THE GENTLE PRISONER by Sara Seale Here is the tender story of Nicholas Penryn, who lived as ann embittered recluse in a remote part of Cornwall. Badly scarred, he could not believe that any woman could be other than repulsed by him- until his strange marriage to a young girl whose gentle ways at last touched even his unhappy heart. THE HOUSE OF SEVEN FOUNTAINS by Anne Weale The air journey from England to Malaya takes rather more than three days and nights. During that flight Vivien sat next to a tall, dark, handsomedoctor - and he hardly spoke to her except to put her markedly in the wrong during an annoying incident in Rangoon. So she was more surprised than pleased when she reached the House of Seven Fountains, the lovely Chinese-style mansion which had been left to her by her godfather, to find him making free use of her swimming pool. Still, he had been her godfather's friend, and doctors have a way of becoming necessary whether one wants to see them or not. And as their relectant acquaintance grew, both were forced to acknowledge that their first inpressions had been mistaken.
