Summary

It is a short story by author Kate Chopin about a young woman who flees from her husband's Louisiana home by accident and lives covertly in New Orleans. Athénase, the story's married lady, is stuck, confined by the possibilities that society provides her. After abandoning an unpleasant convent house, the fictitious Athénase finds herself in a marriage that is similarly "wretched," so she flees once more. She was unable to submit a legally binding complaint against her spouse. The loss of freedom is her biggest objection to marriage.

    This collection of historic photographs showcases the steam trains of England’s Southern Railway from Devon and Cornwall to Wimbledon and beyond.   Train enthusiast Don Benn photographed steam locomotives along England’s Southern Railway from 1960 until steam engines were retired in 1967. In his most prolific years, between 1961 and 1963, Benn captured the last of the classic ex Southern Railway designs, such as the King Arthurs, Lord Nelson and Schools classes. Beloved trains such as the Bournemouth Belle and Lymington Pier boat trains are shown to good effect.   The 150 black and white photos presented in this volume, many published here for the first time, span the Southern Region from the east to the ‘withered arm’ in Devon and Cornwall. Special focus is paid to the areas just south and south west of London, including such historic locations as the footpaths at South Croydon and Wimbledon.
