Excerpt from The Fair Moon of BathMr. Timothy curtis rode slowly through the still night, and with half -seein g eyes watched the white road to the west unroll itself before him under the light of the midsummer moon. His brows were drawn together in a dark frown, and his face wore a look of deep dejection most unusual with this happy mortal. For Timothy Curtis, though hampered by the possession of what he considered a wholly inadequate income, was never one to waste time in counting his lacks. He brought to each draught of life a zest, which amply atoned for any want of savour in the cup, and deeming the possession Of a strong sword-arm, a host Of friends, and a wealthy uncle, whom Time might propitiate, sufficient riches for any man, he commonly won the smiles of Fortune by virtue of his persistent refusal to flinch at her frowns.To-night, however, Timothy's wonted happy outlook on the world was clouded. He had ridden long, for to a light purse every unnecessary halt is an extravagance; he had ridden hungry since noon for the same reason; and he had ridden in solitude owing to his whimsical preference for a journey in the cool evening rather than in the dust and heat of the day. But none of these considerations was responsi ble for the melancholy that shadowed his soul.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Christopher and ColumbusThe gulls, circling white against the gloomy sky over the rubbish that floated on the Mersey, made them feel extraordinarily forlorn. Empty boxes, bits of straw, orange-peel, a variety of dismal dirtiness lay about on the sullen water; England was slipping away, England, their mother's country, the country of their dreams ever since they could remember - and the St. Luke with a loud screech had suddenly stopped.Neither of them could help jumping a little at that and getting an inch closer together beneath the rug.

Excerpt from Lorenzo of SarzanaGenoa, and the figure a little below them as the street sloped down the hill was the Maestro with whom they painted. They were conscious of him though they avoided looking at him and he was totally unconscious of them and looked upon the sea.They had a grievance against him of which they never spoke but which formed a perfectly understood background for all their comments. It was that the Maestro was seeking a genius and they were one and all aware that they could not play the part. Yet no one of them deplored his own lack of qualifications for it half so much as he resented the Maestro's frank betrayal of his knowledge of it. It resulted in their having fits and starts of working like tigers that some day they might turn and rend him with their success.In this hope, they rent many innocent pieces of canvas but never punctured the Maestro's absorption in his quest with any sharp suspicion of his mistake.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
