Excerpt from A Grape From a ThornIT has come to the knowledge of the author of A Grape from a Thorn that some pain has been given to the friends of the late Count d'albam'e from the impression they have been under that he was the original of a certain personage pourtrayed in the novel. This is altogether a misconception the author did not know the Count even by sight, nor, so far as he is aware, had that gentleman any feature of character in common with the Mr. Edwards of the story. Moreover, lest the very misapprehension should arise which has taken place, and which he sincerely deplores, the author was careful to point out (page 210) that others besides the Count have claimed to be the last of the Stuarts, and that Mr. Edwards was one of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Under One Roof: An Episode in a Family HistoryTo one who comes on Halcombe on a sudden from the lone moorland it seems as though the trees had been driven into it like sheep, from the country round, and all the flowers. It lies an oasis in the desert, fresh with foliage, and cool with verdure, and bright with blossom. There is nothing new or staring in the little village even the billiard-room at the Hall, built out by its preceding tenant, has already put on a decent garb of ivy which hides its modernness and for the most part all the houses are very Old. There are no new comers, and consequently no accommodation for them is needed. When a family grows too large for its residence its surplus numbers go forth into the world without and make dwellings for them selves elsewhere.A few hundred yards from the mansion there is the Manor Farm, almost coeval with it, and besides these two there is no house Of any pretensions - the rest are cottages, all the pro perty of the tenant of the Hall, Sir Robert Arden.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
