Excerpt from The Man of Yesterday: A Romance of a Vanishing RaceFrom the front gallery of this house a young girl, looking through an archway of budding vines, beheld the coming Of the springtime to the quiet valley. She was leaning against a white pillar that brought out the rich colour Of her dark complexion and emphasised its exquisite tint. The face, lighted by large eyes with a haunting steadfastness of gaze, had a delicacy of outline and a regularity of feature that betokened a fine heredity. Lounging upon the steps at the girl's feet was a young man, broad-shouldered and deep chested, long Of limb and strong of arm. Like his com panion he had a dark skin, but in place of the Olive his face showed a deep brown that was burnished by exposure to the fierce sun.You are silent, Pakali, said the young man. It seems that you have little to say to me since your return from that St. Louis school this last time.He spoke in full tones with the slightest trace of a gut tural accent, and turned to her a face the strength Of which was emphasised by the straight lines of hair brushed back from the forehead.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
