Excerpt from Adèle, Vol. 1 of 3: A TaleThe funeral was over. The sun shone on the red mould of a new grave in the little and silent church yard; and Osborne Lodge, casting by its ten days' gloom, resumed the aspect and the stir of life.William Osborne sat in his father's study. He had arrived that morning, unwarned, uncalled-for, and his dead father met him on the threshold. The shock was great; a dull, silent grief followed it the grief of a son who was obliged to look back, far into the past, for the time when he received parental affection, and returned filial love.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
