"Desiree's Baby" By: Kate Chopin
"It was no wonder, when she stood one day against the stone pillar in whose
shadow she had lain asleep, eighteen years before, that Armand Aubigny riding
by and seeing her there, had fallen in love with her. That was the way all the
Aubignys fell in love, as if struck by a pistol shot. The wonder was that he had not
loved her before; for he had known her since his father brought him home from
Paris, a boy of eight, after his mother died there. The passion that awoke in him
that day, when he saw her at the gate, swept along like an avalanche, or like a
prairie fire, or like anything that drives headlong over all obstacles."
