Excerpt from The End of a Rainbow: An American StoryThe shower came up very suddenly, but not before we three - Fred Crawford, his sister Millicent, and I - had gained the shelter of a long, Open shed that was built against one side of Grindle's great barn.We sat on an Old wood-sled, and watched the rainy column as it advanced across the fields, sweeping away to the right, striking a poplar tree in its path and turning up all the silver linings of the leaves, overtaking in the lane three horses that were running wildly for shelter, tearing a few shingles from the deserted cottage at the fork of the road, and seeming to spend its last force as it dashed against a sturdy and sombre piece of woodland. Then for a little while it poured steadily everywhere, and from the edge of the shed rolled down a brilliant curtain of water between us and the landscape.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
