It is count number of no small trouble and hesitation for a girl to inform a tale in especial, her very own tale from the start of it even to the end, and to maintain, as it had been, an immediately path throughout. The perplexities, I say, are many, and amongst them now not the least is found in those same phrases, beginning and stop. For wherein definitely his tale has its inception, and what is going to be its final phrase, would possibly nicely puzzle the wisest man of this age, or some other. It has been well stated, indeed, that the history of a person is the records of his problems—but that style of considering will deliver us, by using no devious avenue, to the latter days of the Garden of Eden and the Fall of Man. Now either I have someplace study, or my personal coronary heart has privily advised me, that the story of a girl is the story of her love. And this I take to be truth, and do therefore resolve that the primary bankruptcy of my story will be the first of my coronary heart.

Excerpt from The Sword of the KingThere hangs yet (and long may it so hang!) in our great hall at Drayton a sword - not in its sheath, but naked, and broken some two parts of its length from the hilt, but shining bright as on the day it was first drawn by the great prince that once used it. Beneath it, also against the wall above the hearth, is the Scabbard.It was on a fine morning of the fall of last year, as I was tending Ned's new Dutch garden, that I heard loud and childish altercation proceeding through the open windows of the great hall above me. And there in a window arose the fair gilded head of my seven-year Mary, my first and best gift to Ned, and his best to me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
