Virgin, he says, can succeed where discount and traditional carriers have failed, by offering something different: a hybrid that delivers good service at a reasonable price and eliminates the hub-and-spoke approach that creates mayhem whenever the weather sours.

...bliss, only to recoil so suddenly and retreat stupidly into the hallway.Had the Viscountess been in a reflective mood, she might have considered the possibility that she no longer possessed for him the charms she had once had as a young bride; but that thought was too painful to accept, and she thrust it aside in favor of fury. Yes, he had done it on purpose; he had acted out of unadulterated malice.But the Viscountess had never been one for defeat. She was no shy violet; she would not allow that thing, that pitiful imitation of a man, to trample...
