Excerpt from The Dream-Charlotte: A Story of EchoesThe sound seemed to symbolize the life of those left behind, - Cloistered votaries on whom prison doors would never open.Whilst their pupils sped homewards, every pretty head full of day-dreams, Spiritual mothers and teachers chatted of this favourite and that, of successes, of failures also in the class-room.

We left noisy, but brilliant Paris on Wednesday, stayed a night in London, and yesterday travelled by express train to Llangollen. Oh! what a treat it was to see the fresh green meadows, and cool rivulets, and gleaming orchards! but we came so fast, that we only got a peep at all these. However, we consoled ourselves for such short glimpses by thinking that we should soon be rambling all day long among woods and mountains; for we are going to take a tour through North Wales. There are five of us Aunt A dele, Uncle Louis, my cousin Sylvine, and Mademoiselle A llemeyer, our German governess besides the servants. I am Beatrice Greenwood, and am fifteen years old; Sylvine is only twelve, but we are good friends for all that We live in Paris in the winter; but travel somewhere every autumn, for Aunt A dele likes change, and my uncle is very rich.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from The Roof of France: Or the Causses of the LozèreThe affability, dignity, and uprightness of these mountaineers, their freedom from vulgarity, subservience, or habits of extortion, their splendid physique and great personal beauty, form novel experiences of travel.
