  • A Shadow on the Threshold

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Jan. 24, 2018)
    Excerpt from A Shadow on the ThresholdI polish the glass case (very carefully, for fear of the cracked panes giving way), and display to the greatest advantage the few little prints and showy articles which we possess. I make the brightest books conspicuous, and put the faded ones into the background. Then I change the places of the prints and periodicals in the win dow, that the stationer opposite (whose books and pictures are constantly renewed) may imag ine that we sometimes replenish our stock. And while I am busy the old sad thought lies only half hidden under those passing fancies I try so hard to hold.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... brains have grown weary in the city can fully understand what such a rest would be. I have thought--ever since that dream I have thought--that I should like my own grave here." "And mine, then, of course," supplemented Doris, tenderly. " But, after all, Kenneth, it is only now that we mind, is it? It will be all one to us then. We shall have found a peace which could not be disturbed by the sounds which always weary you. It is now that you should rest. Dear Ken, I wish I could persuade you how much better is such peace as you feel to-day, than the constant struggle--But," she added, brightly, when she saw his face sadden, " you know best, Ken. It is your choice, and you are happier so." "My choice?" he echoed, dreamily. "I hardly know, Doris. Sometimes I feel that I have been led by something stronger, than choice." "Power to succeed you mean," she smiled. " Now shall we go into church?" This was the first time during his visit that Kenneth had referred to his own prospects, for he had come determined to interest Doris on pleasant general subjects, without touching either on Mr. Monkton's approaching trial, or his own coming test. So, in the quiet pause before the service, he blamed himself for his for-getfulness, and again formed his resolutions, forgetting how impossible it was to deny himself the sympathy which was so precious to himr and that bright response to the love which was more deep and steadfast even than the love he gave his art. Miss Windish and little Willy sat with them in the great Kingswood pew, but the service went on to its close, and Scot Monkton did not appear. " I thought he would be here," sighed Miss Michal, when they stood together at the churchyard gate. The congregation had all dispersed--even Mr. Berries,...

Not illustrated. 1876 Excerpt: ...objecting to go back to Hohve. Habit gets such a grip upon us. Why. I knew an ironfounder once who nevbr fell asleep readily except when half a dozen men were hammering iron close to his ears. He toltl me this himself, and once I myself caught him sleeping like a babby in a furnace which a man was actually mending. Habit, dear lad, all habit; and I shan't be surprised to hear you say to me some day soon, 'Well, Uncle Bart, Hohve is ready for me now, you see; but I declare I feel so comfortably settled here that I should only consider it a bore to move.'" "That day must be a long way hence," said Rourke, moodily. though he smiled at the old man's reasoning. ' Now I suppose I must go. I am on my way to Rupert's Rest, uncle. Una must have the option of refusing a pauper husband." "And if she does not do so?" "If she does not do so, the wedding will be on the day first fixed." "But will she like that?" "Why not?" asked Rourke, testily. "Mrs. Trenham was not her stepmother, and what respect would you have me show her memory?" "True true," muttered Bartle, dismissing the subject in his old way. "Where do you go afterwards--to Hohve?" "To Hohve!" laughed Trenham, ironically. "Why, what do you think me? No; I go to London by the night express. I have business there to-morrow morning. I will tell you of it when I return." "Rourke, don't part with Brent," said the old farmer, asking no question about the business in London, perhaps because he guessed its import; "and--and---if ever you want money, you will remember that your mother's own sister was my wife, and that you are all the old man has to love." "Oh, hush!" cried Rourke, ...
