Excerpt from In the ShadowYou do not know what sunlight is, said Manning to Giles Maltby, as the two and Virginia sat on the edge of the tennis court waiting for the dew to be whipped away by such feeble power as lay in the Kentish sun. In Carolina the sunlight has a substance and a color; one can almost see it of itself apart from what it lights; it's palpable, like a flame, rich as cream; over here it's anemic and strained out; skimmed milk. It hasn't even got the strength to dry the court. He rapped his racket impatiently against the rustic bench.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Magnet: A RomanceOne saw at the first glance that the Shark was less of a pleasure-craft than a floating home, and such a domicile she had truly been for fifteen years. Asthma and an insubordinate heart had retired her owner from the service of his country; the same affliction forbade his residence ashore and com pelled him to seek a warm winter climate. Where fore, he wisely bought the Shark for a mere song, and made of her a home for himself and his three little motherless daughters: Cécile, aged nine; Paula, aged seven, and Hermione, aged four.That was fifteen years before the epoch of this saga, so that we find our three sirens at the dan gerous ages of from nineteen to twenty-four. Little heed had their cantankerous parent ever given them, and little need had they of it, as from the very first day to the present, they had found a wise and kindly nurse, playmate, and duenna in that splendid old grizzled viking, Christian Held strom, Master Mariner.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from In the Service of the PrincessIt was in Switzerland. Dick was returning from one of his long, solitary rambles, for his mother was an invalid and the boy knew no one in the place. Approaching the auberge from the rear he heard the hideous squawking which a fowl makes when seized with violence and for a sinister purpose. Boy like, Dick hastened to the scene of execution.A stolid Swiss gripped firmly the sacrifice to man's savage appetites; he forced the beak open, pushed the scissors under the tongue and cut, then looked at the boy and grinned. Dick, realising the stern necessities of the case, watched the death throes with the cool interest of a savage, or a boy, and was still watching when a slim figure in a grey riding habit came flying around the corner of the building and stumbled over the shuddering body of the chicken.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Mile High: A NovelHe stared at the sanatorium with a pleased expression, then drew out a platinum cigarette case with crest embossed. In gold, a costly gift of an admiring friend, and marred, while yet enhanced, by a bullet hole drilled in one corner.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
