Excerpt from Pandora's BoxIn a clumsy boat upon this river a young man was gazing upward, in a rapturous study of the castle towers.These various towers, grey with age or green with ivy, but glistening now in the light of spring, rose high above the river's bank, all reflected upon the waters beneath, as in a mirror.A restful harmony, this vast abode - a harmony in stone, of ancient battlements, of Elizabethan gables and great mullioned windows; of terraces and gardens - a palace with the strength of a citadel. And the young man's eyes lingered here and there upon an oriel window of feathery grace, upon the outlines of a warlike turret high against the Sky, or wandered leisurely along the balustrade of the great terrace with its shrubs of fantastic pattern.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
