Books with author Edward C.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Gentleman BornThere was life and gaiety galore at the home of the fascinating widow Beaumont to-night and with reason. The palatial residence, closed to society for two long dreary years, during which period it seemed that the radiant orb of the social world had lost some of its wonted lustre, was opened now with the dazzling splendor of a Fancy Dress Ball.For some weeks previous, decorators had been let loose in the mansion, transforming the drawing-room, the ball room and the banquet hall into miracles of splendor. While the conservatory opening from the ball-room, was in itself a fairy wonderland with artificial fountains playing in almost natural rockery, clusters of palms, exotics and ferns grouped here and there, and the tiniest of fairy lamps gleaming everywhere through the foliage.Perry did not tarry long in the room which was fraught with so many recollections of his former friend. The last of the guests had assembled when he made his way back to the drawing-room and his mind, although preoccupied with the dangerous game he was to play that night, was captivated by the scene before him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
