Excerpt from A Health Unto His MajestyThese exiles, half a dozen in number, were in true accord with their environment. They were almost all clad in garments which evidently had once been fine and modish, but which the passage of time and long usage had reduced to a pitiable condition that suggested the wardrobe of a none too successful travelling tinker. Velvets, frayed to the cord; silks that were split and ripped and very ill-mended; laces that were torn beyond repair; these were the common attributes of the wear ing apparel of the occupants of the chamber. One man alone, that sat apart from the others and was busy writ ing at a table, had somehow contrived to keep his person covered with a greater neatness; a youngish man, with a grave, quiet face and steady watchful eyes, a man in his appearance as unlike the other occupants of the room as in his garb.These others all were, or affected to be, jolly fellows, bully Cavaliers, mighty swordsmen, mighty lovers, mighty trencher-men and fiagon-men whenever meat and wine came their way. They were for ever shaking their long locks with laughter, for ever busy in the desperate pursuit of amusement under difficulties. Four of them were playing at cards, all with knitted brows and a great show of earnestness. One shabby gentleman that was seated in the window-seat, with a little ink-horn by his side, was writing in a little paper book. The gentleman seemed to be much amused by what he was writing, for ever and anon he would pause in his task to chuckle over his work, and to slap his thigh caressingly with the hand that carried the quill.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Glorious Rascal: Pretty Maids All in a RowThe boy felt sorry for those cats out there in the fields. They must be cold, maugre their fur, and might be hungry, and already to his early sharpening senses to be cold and to be hungry were the two unforgivable ills. He was not cold himself that day, for there had been a fire in their room from the morning, and he was not hungry either, for there was food in their larder and he had eaten liberally enough, Once and again. He was reminded now of what cold felt like, standing there on the edge of the snowy street; but for all the cold the snow tempted him, and he was making to paddle out further, with some dim thought of calling to those distant cats, and possibly playing with them, when the hand of destiny descended upon him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Duke's Motto: A MelodramaVoila un mélodrame que j'ai fait, le dernier de plusieurs mélodrames anglais qui ont Lagardere pour héros. Des mots remplacent l'action, des mots remplacent le décor, les costumes, et les accessoires; mais enfin ce pastiche n'est qu'une piece et non un roman. Je l'ai fait pour Lewis Waller, acteur romantique s'il en fut, et grandement doué des qualités qui appartiennent par tradition a Lagardere. J'ai su, il y a longtemps, grace a M. Jules Claretie, que vous étiez le vrai createur de ce paladin, Lagardere, pair de d'artagnan, pair de Cyrano, pair presque de Roland et d'olivier. Et si je ne l'avais pas su, j'aurais pu l'apprendre derniérement en lisant ce livre aussi plein de charme que d'érudition, Les Anciens Théatres de Paris de M. Georges Cain. Mais je crois que cette vérité est connue de peu de monde dans les pays 011 so parle la langue anglaise, que quand on loue Le Bossu de Féval on doit aussi louer Le Bossu de Sardou.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
