The town house in London felt like a prison, not a home, and still he waited, sensing somehow that Elizabeth was putting him through this torment to teach him some kind of well-deserved lesson. He returned to Montmayne, where, for several more weeks, he prowled about its rooms, paced a track in the drawing room carpet, and stared into its marble-fronted fireplaces as if the answer would be there in the flames. Finally he could stand it no more. He couldn’t concentrate on his work, and when he tried, he made mistakes. Worse, he was beginning to be haunted with walking nightmares that she’d come to harm-or that she was falling in love with someone kinder than he-and the tormenting illusions followed him from room to room. On a clear, cold day in early December, after leaving instructions with his footmen, butler, and even his cook that he was to be notified immediately if any word at all was received from Elizabeth, he left for the cottage in Scotland. It was the one place where he might find peace from the throbbing emptiness that was gnawing away at him with a pain that increased unbearably from day to day, because he no longer really believed she would ever contact him.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Judith McNaught" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/judith-mcnaught/in-the-ensuing-two-weeks-ian-managed-to-buy-back-elizabeth-s-emeralds/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/910/judith-mcnaught-687_day-to-day_in-the-ensuing-two-weeks-ian-managed-to_1983062.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/910/judith-mcnaught-687_day-to-day_in-the-ensuing-two-weeks-ian-managed-to_1983062.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/910/judith-mcnaught-687_day-to-day_in-the-ensuing-two-weeks-ian-managed-to_1983062.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“In the ensuing two weeks Ian managed to buy back Elizabeth’s emeralds and Havenhurst, but he was unable to…” — Judith McNaught", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/nightmares-come/judith-mcnaught/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/nightmares-come/judith-mcnaught/", "name": "Nightmares Come Quotes by Judith McNaught", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/nightmares-come/judith-mcnaught/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/910/judith-mcnaught-687_day-to-day_in-the-ensuing-two-weeks-ian-managed-to_1983062.jpg" }, "description": "1 Nightmares Come quotes by Judith McNaught.
